Hometown: Manchester, England

Tell us about your hometown: In Powell, everyone is very approachable and friendly and just very happy and positive in general whereas its not the same back home. In Manchester, it rains nearly every day and its very humid. In England, the culture is very different. It is big on socially drinking with friends and family, every activity usually consists of alcohol being involved - not because there alcoholics, but because its socially more accepted. Manchester is home to 2 of the biggest soccer teams in the world, Manchester United and Manchester City.

Tell us about yourself: I am 20 years old. I love to spend time with my family and friends and I support Everton FC who are a team in the Premier League. I love playing and watching soccer and learning how the game works as I want to be a coach hopefully in the future. I am a very passionate person that hates losing and I am always willing to learn more and get better everyday. In my spare time I like to attempt to play golf.

Why did you choose Northwest?: I chose Northwest because of how comfortable coach Rob Hill made me feel on the recruitment call. He was ambitious, friendly and truthful. Rob made me feel like he wanted me here at NWC, and that I would be well looked after and safe. I wanted to be able to meet new people from all over the world and learn from them as well as play along side them in a winning and competitive team.
