I'm BACK!!!

It's been over 4 years but I'm back! For those of you that don't know me, for the last 4 years I have been playing football as a kicker for the University of Hawaii. I wouldn't say I haven't enjoyed my time in Hawaii, the people are some of the most amazing people in the world and I really did feel the "Aloha Spirit" over my four years. However, I didn't feel like it was what I was meant for. But now I'm back to my first love, Soccer!

I was accepted to California Baptist University in Riverside, CA, for this fall semester. But as training camp came about, I started to see how the years had taken a tole on my "soccer body". I came into camp at 225lbs and in 3 weeks dropped down to 215lbs. I would be lying if I told you it was easy, because it was anything but that. Although one thing I can say is it was the most fun getting my butt kicked I have ever had.

I drive 45miles, each way, to school everyday, and not once have I not wanted to go or just call in saying I'm sick. I love every second I'm out there and I love every guy on the team and this is the first time in my life that I have liked EVERY player on a team I was playing on.

All in all, I couldn't be happier where I am at not and with the people I am with. I will miss dearly the people in my old life but I can't wait to meet the people in my new life.

I will do my best to keep you all up to date on my progress here at CBU and I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I love doing it. GO LANCERS!!!
