team. Members must have at least a 3.30 GPA and play in the majority of their team's games.
Career Goals: "I want to work in the movie industry because that has always been a dream of
mine."
He chose Middle Georgia State because … "I wanted to play soccer and get a good education at
the same time, something harder to do in Europe. I did not know much about the school or the
team before I came here, but I was pretty happy to have found a warm and welcoming
environment."
The one thing that surprised him about Middle Georgia State was … "How nice and friendly
everyone is."
His favorite professor is … "Lee Simmons. I had him for two art classes, and he's a cool
guy."
His favorite place to study is … "My room."
One thing people don’t know about him is … "I worked at an elementary school and taught a
third-grade class for almost a year."
His friends make fun of him because … "I'm colorblind and they point at stuff all the time
and ask what color it is, even things that are black and white."
The one person he'd most like to meet is … "Ronaldo, the best soccer player who ever lived."
Five years from now he sees himself ... "Playing semi-professional soccer and getting
established in a career."
