He attended Swarthmore College, playing for the Garnet soccer team. Upon graduating in 2009 with a degree in Environmental Science and French Literature, he played for the newly formed San Diego Flash before moving abroad, becoming the first Swarthmore alumnus to play in the top division of any country.
