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 2 (NEFC)
Competing in MLS Next 2 with NEFC — a step into the US youth football pyramid's elite pathway. 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.
September 2026
France
On the ground in France now. Trialing with higher-level clubs to test my level and find the next step. Documented in real time.

Scout Notes
- "Ball-playing centre back — defends the space in behind with pace, then starts the attack from the back."
- "High pace covers runs in behind — track times back it up: mile 5:03, 800m 2:09."
- "Progresses play into midfield lines; steps out to intercept and carries with intent."
- "Vocal organizer. Leads the back line on shape and pressure triggers."
