Pregame Music: “Recently it’s been a lot of rock, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, but it all fluctuates, I’m into a bunch of music, usually right before I go out there it’s rock.”

Favorite Restaurant: “I’m a huge Italian fan, and I love Olive Garden.”

First Soccer Memory: “There used to be a league, in Baltimore, I think I might have been like under-12 playing up an age-group, playing with my brother and when we won our first championship that was pretty cool to win it with my brother and everything.”

Best Soccer Memory: “Signing here with Tampa, because everyone remembers your first signing. I really don’t count the Vancouver thing just because I didn’t get any playing experience, but I would have to say here. I won a conference championship in college, but there’s no way to explain how it feels when you sign a contract and know that you’ve made it, it’s a great feeling.”
