Soccer is my first love. I've been playing since I was 4 years old. I traveled the world doing it. I broke my leg when I was 16 or 17, and acting kind of filled the void.

This past year has been something else... it's opened my eyes to many things and many people. It's had its ups and downs and ins and outs.

We've over come obstacles, and set in motion opportunities that can change our own individual lives.

There is hardly any money interest in art, and music will be there when money is gone.
