What is your favorite memory from all the years you played on the Masterman Boys soccer team?

My favorite memory was scoring a victory for the team in the quarter finals of the Public league (2022) against Lincoln.


You sustained a major injury last year that affects how you play soccer. Can you explain how you have adjusted to your injury and continue to play soccer despite it?

I took some physical therapy to help with it. I also had to put all my focus and determination to get back to the level that I was at before.


What are your plans now and in the future regarding soccer?

I want to play soccer in college, and just continue playing the game for as long as I can.


What is your favorite part about being a part of a team (in general)?

My favorite part is competing with my teammates to get to the mutual goal of reaching the championships.

What is your favorite memory across all of High School?

I enjoy just spending time with my friends during lunch and sports.


What is your favorite school subject?

I really enjoyed APUSH. Ms. Vesci is a really good teacher, and had a fun curriculum. I really appreciated learning American History in a way I haven’t before.”


What advice would you give to someone who would want to join the Masterman boys soccer team in the future?

I would say … just listen to Coach Tyler. [He laughs.] Buy into the system. Into what Coach Tyler asks of you. Also, be ready for a lot of commitment. With those two things, anyone can succeed.


What is your favorite movie scored by Howard Shore?

I enjoy the Lord of the Rings trilogy.


What is your dream profession or career?

My dream profession is to be a professional soccer player and/or a manager for a sports team.


Who is your favorite music artist?

My favorite music artist is Elton John. I love “I’m Still Standing."


Since this is Halloween season, what would you do if you were suddenly turned into a vampire with supernatural strength and compulsive (hypnotizing) powers?

I would probably do evil stuff like take over the school. I would make the school into my own personal vampire empire.
