About Max

My goal is to enjoy and succeed in both soccer and academics at the collegiate level. I work hard in school and have maintained an unweighted 4.00 GPA/weighted 4.13 GPA through my junior year. I challenge myself to be my best on the field and in the classroom, and I want to be part of a program that values both.
I am a fast and athletic left-footed wingback and outside back with skills to defend and support the attack. I am primarily being recruited as a wingback at the college level.

With most of my FC United teammates graduating in 2025 and no younger team below us, the remaining 2026 players and I have joined the VSA Rush team in the ECNL this fall.
