“I chose Vermont because it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. It is something new and something different, and that’s what I wanted. It is a beautiful place to go to school, and start my life. I am looking forward to playing soccer at the college level, and competing with the top players. Also, to being independent, I’m ready to grow up and start my own life. My biggest goal in college soccer is to be one of the top players in the nation, to make the All-Conference team, and to be developed to play at the next level. I’ve had 2 coaches during my soccer career that I’d like to thank, and they are: Nathan Williams and Paul O’Brien. With their knowledge and time, they have shaped me into the player I am now. Almost everything I know and have done is from them. So I’d like to thank them for developing me as a player, and as a young man. Thank you.”
