Founder and CEO

“Born and raised in San Diego, I grew up chasing the dream of playing professional football. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to get the right opportunities, no matter how much talent or dedication you have. That’s why I founded The Final Third—to give players from all over the world a real chance to prove themselves. I’ve been in their shoes, and I understand what it takes to succeed. Our mission is to connect hardworking athletes with professional trials and provide the guidance they need to take their game to the next level. My dream is to help others achieve theirs."
