Most Memorable Soccer Highlight:
Three great memories come to mind:
Playing for the U.S. National Team
Being drafted in the 1st round, out of Sammamish High School, by the Seattle Sounders.
Scoring my first 3 goals as a professional. “In my rookie season we were playing the New York Cosmos at Giants Stadium and we were down 3-1. My coaches, Laurie Calloway and Bobbie Howe, decided to put me in with 7 minutes remaining to give me some experience. First, I stole a back pass and scored. I scored again on a cross to tie the game. Two days later we were in Toronto and they had enough confidence to start me. I scored a goal that Bobby Howe described in the paper as, “…a great goal. Pele’ would have been proud of it”. I will never forget that.”
Personal/Other:
Graduate of Sammamish HS. Reside in Issaquah with wife Karlyn and children, Cooper and Tala. Co-owner and inventor, with fellow EFC coach Tom Bunnell, of the Insta-bench. I still love playing soccer and inventing new products.
