Football (soccer) has been a big part of my life. Through football I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to study and play at the University of Washington on an athletic scholarship. Highlights during my time there would have to be winning the PAC-12 conference in 2013 and claiming the number 1 RPI ranking in the nation for a period of time in 2013 & 2014. After graduating I came back to New Zealand to work for NZ Football as the assistant manager for the All Whites. In 2016 we were able to qualify for the 2017 Confederations Cup held in Russia by winning the OFC Nations Cup. Another focus I have found interest in is coaching. I wanted to explore this aspect of football while I am unfortunately out of the game due to a long term ACL injury. I am passionate about helping young football players in the recruiting process for US colleges and assisting them to find the best school that fits them as an individual. I had the best 4-year experience possible playing at the collegiate level and it's something that I want other kiwi football players to experience as well.
