"As I learned more and more about Liverpool, I just realized that this club was for me, because of what the club stands for, and that you don’t have to walk alone.

Since I was four or five I was obsessed with the sport. Like that's my first love.

In 1998, I was in my twenties and on my own. So I was like, all right, I'm going to buy the whole sports package for TV.

I mean, every sport you could think of was on it and I just wanted soccer. It cost stupid money and I hardly made any, but that was what all my money went to. I was watching every game that I could. That was all I had.

I hadn’t picked a team yet. I was watching all the other games, but I was just drawn to Liverpool.

I saw Stevie G’s first season. He was this young kid and I was like, this kid's got promise, not knowing he was going to be what he is. Plus, Michael Owen and all these amazing players were on the squad. I was just obsessed and felt this connection.

In 2016, I formed a supporters group here in Carlsbad, California. What’s special about supporters in Southern California is the passion. Last weekend, it was 4:30 in the morning and we were up cheering on our team.

A few years back, I put a bus together of 54 people, leaving at 2:15 in the morning. It started in San Diego, stopped in Carlsbad, Orange County, and ended in LA. We had all these supporters clubs together to watch the Liverpool-United match. It was a really cool thing.

It does not matter what time of the day it is. We are always there to support our team."
