I started at goalie for our team. A few weeks into the tournament I was recruited by the Middle Eastern team to play goalie for them. We were the best team, made it past the first stage and into the championship game. We lost 1-0 in the championship game but the whole experience was amazing

    I went to the World Cup this past summer and it was one of the greatest experiences ever. It was a trip put on by WNEC and it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

    Along with my internship with NESN, I also interned with the New England Revolution for the summer of 2010. I didn't do too much difficult tasks but I certainly learned a lot and met some great people along the way. Working at Gillette Stadium wasn't too bad either.
  • First Injury

    First Injury
    So I had my first injury while playing basketball this summer 2010. I was playing in the Wednesday night pickup and I went up for a layup and came down on my ankle. I could not stand or even put pressure on it. The next day I went to the doctor where he proceeded to tell me that I tore all my ligaments in my right ankle. To make matters worse I was going to Australia in the next few days. So now every time I play sports I have to wear the ankle brace (pictured).
