IN HIS OWN WORDS

Beginnings: I started playing competitive soccer for the Chicago Magic; when I was ten years old I started being serious about the sport, and then I went to college.
Chivas USA: Being one of the two players left from the original team, with Pancho (Mendoza), it’s an honor to play for this historic club.
Idols: Outside soccer I’ll say my parents; they’ve shown me what is like to be an adult. Also, all the previous players that have come before me, they have set the bar of what I’ve tried to be every day.
Interests: Being in Southern California, I’ve taken up golf a little bit; continuing my education, taking a class here and there, going to the beach or just relaxing.
