He graduated with a degree in Mathematical Sciences from Kean University U.S.A in 2011 and was the captain of the Men’s Soccer team that won the NJAC championship during his senior year.  He later played soccer professionally in Ecuador (South America) for 2 years before a serious injury cut his athletic career short.
