Credentials

Summer 2026

Called up to the
USL Championship.

This summer I signed a one-month contract with Hartford Athletic in the USL Championship, the second division of American soccer. Every day in a professional first-team environment, in the goalkeeper room, on the training ground.

Hartford's goalkeeper coach is Dan Gaspar, named to Ghana's national team staff for the World Cup and the founder of Star Goalkeeper Academy. I coached alongside him at two SGA summer camps, then worked directly with him and Hartford Athletic to put on a goalkeeper and striker camp at the club.

That is the level the work here is measured against. What gets run in a Championship goalkeeper room is what your keeper gets at Torrimar.

Keepers I train

Called up to their
national teams.

Two of the goalkeepers who train with me at Torrimar are in national team setups right now, one with Puerto Rico and one with Peru.

Those call-ups are theirs. They earned them on their own, in their own clubs, in front of their own selectors. What I can tell you is that this is the room they do their goalkeeper work in, and that the session they get is the same one anyone books here.

About

I'm a professional goalkeeper for Puerto Rico Surf SC and the Director of Academy Goalkeeping at the club.

No team I've played for has ever recruited me. I've earned every spot by knocking on doors and showing up to trials. I walked on at Northeastern's Division I program after four years of tryouts. After graduation I signed pro with Korsnäs FF and OTP United in Finland, and 1. SC Znojmo FK in the Czech Republic. This summer it took me to Hartford Athletic in the USL Championship. The contract I play under today came the same way.

I coach keepers the way I built my own career. Sessions are 1-on-1 and built around footwork, handling, distribution, and decision-making in game-realistic reps. Every keeper I train walks out sharper than they walked in.
