Flame Award in Recognition of Outstanding Achievement, 2004

I was the most surprised boy in the room at four-years-old when I was voted MVP of my AYSO futbol team.  Since then, I have always loved the most beautiful game in the world.  It is the most important thing in my life, other than my parents, my brothers, Ari and Noah, my cousins, Luke, Hana, Alice and Charlotte, and my best friend, Hayden.  I would do anything for my Grandfather, Ben Taublieb (age 92) and my Grandmother, Jacqueline Cooper who have helped me a great deal.  I have seven years of Karate training and surf experience both which help keep me physically in shape.  Futbol is my focus – I read futbol books, and watch professional games -- futbol is everything to me. I would like to play professional futbol in England.  It is my desire to play futbol and help stop all the fighting in the world.

I aim to be playing futbol in England as soon as I get the opportunity.

In my future I would like to be playing futbol professionally and stop wars by playing futbol.
