World Cup Dad

Three years ago I had never played soccer. Dad of 5. Over 30. Burn out and sick. Now I have the dream come true of representing the United States in a World Cup!

The last six months have been an incredible privilege.

I’m genuinely grateful to everyone involved with Brazil who welcomed me, believed in my story, and gave me the opportunity to be part of something special. Every interaction was marked by kindness, generosity, and professionalism, and I’ll always be thankful for that.

While some plans changed, my respect and appreciation never did. I’m cheering for Brazil and everyone involved as they head into the 6v6 World Cup, and I truly hope it’s an amazing tournament. Brazil is the greatest football culture in the world. Long live Joga Bonito!

Over the last month, another door unexpectedly opened, one that fulfilled a dream I once thought was impossible, but in an unexpected way. After a lot of prayer and consideration, I knew it was a step I had to take.

Sometimes God isn’t closing a door… He’s leading you to one you never imagined.

A major announcement is coming today. ⚽️
