What I love about BUSC:   Ballistic United is the club that not only introduced me to soccer but was the foundation for my development as an individual.

The history, leadership, and commitment to the total development of each player is unmatched in the region and opened for me a clear direction in both soccer and education.

The chance to be part of a Ballistic organization that fosters the development of the player both on and off the field, as well as mentally and physically, was something that I wanted to be a part of again.

With the new MLS NEXT platform and BUSC’s founding member status, I want to do everything I can to create the best opportunities for our boys to have the same experiences at the next level that I was awarded.
