From Southern California to Division 1 Soccer
I grew up in San Clemente, California chasing the goal of playing Division 1 soccer at the highest level possible. I went through the recruiting process myself, competed in MLS NEXT, trained internationally in Spain, and learned firsthand what separates players who make it from players who fall short.
I'm currently a Division 1 midfielder and USL2 player, transferring from LMU to San Diego State with three years of NCAA eligibility remaining. I'm still living the process every day — training, competing, recovering, balancing school, and pushing to reach the professional level.
Along the way, I've:
- Won an MLS NEXT Cup National Championship
- Won CIF Southern Section & California State Championships
- Trained and competed internationally in Spain
One of the biggest things soccer has taught me is that talent alone isn't enough. I've seen players who were far more technical than me come and go because they lacked consistency, discipline, confidence, habits, or guidance. The players who separate themselves are usually the ones who learn how to approach the game the right way every single day.
That's what D1 Mentor is built around — helping younger players understand what the next level actually demands, both on and off the field. Every session is personalized to you, your goals, and the areas of your game that need the most attention.
