Bio

Major
During my years in Emmaus I will be majoring in computer informatio system.

When did you start playing soccer?
As far as I can remember I started playing soccer (known as football) since around 5th grade.  But it was just for fun.  I started playing as a team member in 7th grade up through my senior year of high school.  

What is your favorite sports team and/or player?
I don't follow soccer that much, but from what I have watched, I support real madrid and also barcelona. My favorite players are Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar and the retired Rolandino.

Highlight of your sports career?
My highlight of my soccer career would be playing as a team and having fun while doing it, also a couple of unforgetable goals.

What type of growth have you seen in yourself through your years of playing?
Through the years I have seen a growth in confidence as a player. 

Name the individual who has impacted you the most in your playing career, and how they have influenced you.
A former teammate, Andy, and my former coaches Mr. Schwant and Mr. Leeman have been great influences.  Their dedication and love for the sport have influenced me to enjoy and work hard in soccer.

Favorite passage of scripture and why?
I do not have a favorite scripture verse, I basically just listen/read, apply, and usually never memorize the scriptures, because my memory is bad.  However, I am thankful to be in a good environment where that will change.  While I don't have a favorite, I do enjoy the stories of Jesus performing miracles, as well as the parables.
