I started my soccer journey at Falcon College in Zimbabwe, before earning a soccer scholarship to attend Bethel University (TN), where I competed at the NAIA Division I level. After finishing my playing career, I transitioned into analysis, joining Eastern Illinois University Men’s Soccer as an Opposition Analyst as a volunteer, a role I held from 2022 to 2024.

During this period, I also completed the Foundations of Sports Analytics certification from Michigan University, which introduced key concepts in data, representation, and modeling. The combination of academic learning and real-world match preparation built a strong foundation in tactical review, scouting, and system design.

In December 2022, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Business Analytics and Information Systems. Soon after graduating, I joined Rural King, a large farm and home retailer, where I spent two years as a Data Analytics Specialist. There, I led major projects focused on Rewards program performance, customer segmentation, and campaign optimization.

Today, I work as the Assistant Club Director at MidState Soccer, where I bring together operations, coaching, and data infrastructure to help the club run more effectively. I hold the U.S. Soccer D License, along with PFSA Level 2 certifications in Talent Identification, Technical Analysis, and Opposition Analysis.

Outside of work, I spend my time studying the game, listening to history podcasts and audiobooks, playing Football Manager, and watching a lot of sports. I have been an avid Manchester United fan since 2004 despite coming from a Liverpool dominated Family. My favorite players of all time are Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney and Captain fantastic, Steven Gerrard.
