The Story

Two continents,three provinces four countries, and five states. That is where football has taken me.
After a mediocre career,by my own account, at Arizona State. The idea of playing professionally was a dream of mine. So three consecutive years of failed attempts, finally I earned an opportunity to play for the Ottawa Renegades of the Canadian Football League(CFL). After two successful years in Ottawa, I moved on to play for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. In hindsight not the greatest decision I made during my career. Not because of the team but the situation I put myself in. Make a long story short don't always chase the money. So that season I split with Saskatchewan and Calgary Stampeders. The follow season I was invited to play NFL-Europe(NFL-E). This was a feeder league for the NFL. I was chosen to play for the Rhien Fire. Here I got my first taste of Europe. I loved the people, culture and atmosphere. Unfortunately, the season did not go well as planned. We struggled and I did not get the NFL shot I had been working so hard for.After two years of teaching in Arizona, the desire to play had grown within me. So I played for the Stockton Lightening of Arena 2. This was a different game. Smaller fields, different coaching styles, always indoors. I was definitely not a fan of playing. Fortunately, I was contacted by a former NFL-E teammate. He asked me if I wanted to play football in Finland. Like most people I didn't even know they had American football there. The idea of traveling and playing got me on the plane to Finland. I helped the Porvoo Butchers win there six championship in a row. Now I'm off to play for the Baltic Hurricanes, located in Kiel,Germany. So follow me as I write my experience
