Career Path

2021

Massachusetts Roots

Middle school football outside Boston. Local club nights, weekend tournaments, and the early discipline that made everything else possible.

2021

Juventus Academy

First serious academy environment. Exposure to a European training model on US soil — technical standards, body shape, intent on every touch.

2023

IFA New England

Stepped up into one of the top regional development environments in the Northeast. Higher tempo, smarter football, real competition.

2025

MLS Next

Competing at the highest level of US youth football. Defenders read faster, forwards finish colder. Every weekend a test.

2025

Building the Standard

Solo sessions, recovery, mindset, journaling. Treating the small things like they matter. Built for Europe is born — the brand becomes the documentation.

2026

Preparing for France

Language, paperwork, footage, club outreach, financials. Locking in the move. Every session right now is preparation.
