When did you join FC Motown?
- "I joined around the fall of 2018, just after the teams first ever NPSL National Final appearance that summer."
How did you end up at Motown?
- "I was playing for Cedar Stars and Oliver (Papraniku) sent me over to Motown. I have played a lot of games here since then!"
When was your best ever Motown performance individually?
- "My best performance was actually this year against the Jackson Lions. We know those guys and it's a big game for both clubs.It was pouring rain, so it was a tough environment also. We were 3-0 down, 3-1 at the half. We ended up pulling it back and winning it 4-3. It was a great feeling."
Your favorite Motown memory to date?
- "Again this season….. On Saturday away versus Tulsa in Oklahoma. The travel, the camaraderie then again coming back late in the game from 1-0 down to win it 2-1 was amazing."
Who has a place in your Motown Hall of Fame?
- "This is a tough one as I have played with so many talented guys so I am going to go with Dave Greczek our current goalkeeper, Joe Fala as a forward and Danny Cordeiro in midfield."
Describe the club to those who don’t know it.
- "Very welcoming, with open arms and dedicated to success."
Saturday August 6th, 730pm. NPSL National Final at home…. Thoughts?
- "Saturday will be a good game, the opponents are unfamiliar to us but we have done our homework. It is a final so whoever works the hardest on the field will win the game."
