I grew up in The Dalles, Oregon, and moved to Eugene in 2020 to attend the University of Oregon, where I recently earned my MBA. The opportunity to help build a new professional soccer club from the ground up was what initially drew me to Sporting Cascades FC. Since joining, one of the most rewarding parts has been working alongside such a fun and diverse group of people, all bringing different backgrounds and experiences to the club. I’ve even had the unique opportunity to work side-by-side with one of our players, Alexis Ledoux! Between the energy of the team, the connections we’ve made throughout the community, and the chance to see our work make a real impact, it’s been an incredibly exciting experience.

I’ve always loved sports, especially supporting teams here in Oregon. I’m a longtime supporter of the Portland Trail Blazers, and more recently, I’ve started following the Portland Timbers as my appreciation and knowledge of soccer continue to grow. Getting to help bring another professional team to Oregon, right here in Eugene, is an incredibly exciting opportunity.

While my appreciation for soccer continues to grow, my playing abilities are unlikely to earn me a roster spot! So I’m more than happy to support the team from the sidelines as we build something special for Eugene.
