How long have you been a Rapids fan and what got you involved with the team?

I originally just found out by myself. I've been soccer player since I was five. So I went to a couple of games prior to 2017 and that was when I became a season ticket member through C38. 

 Since joining the fan base, what has been your favorite memory involving the team?

Aside from Pride, I would say my most favorite was the end of 2019 when we won the regular season. That was just the most epic game. There's this shot looking into Section 117 and there's four of us on the wall right after one of our last goals and you just see me arms wide open, mouth wide open. It was just one of the most epic games I've ever experienced.

Who is your favorite player, current or former, to watch and what made you a fan of them?

Dominique Badji, he's so nice. He's a great player, sweetest guy. I actually just messaged him about him going to go play in Turkey. But he's that kind of guy, he writes you back. I have a handful of his stuff autographed. But also Sammy Vines--so stoked that he's back.

 How do you draw in other friends and family to games to become fans?

I definitely pitch them C38--the whole culture and soccer family that we put together as a group and the tailgate mentality and hanging at the games, too. It's really what has kept me around all these years.

Our tailgate is very well known across the country. Particularly in the stadium with C38 fans truly understand that our spirit and our voice lend to the game itself and is motivation for the players. As a capo leader part of my job is to is to help get the fans rowdy and loud and getting the team excited knowing that we've got their backs.

What is your hope for the future of C38 and Mile High Lokos?

We are absolutely building our diversity within the group, have been for the last few Pride games. A couple of targets that we have are building out our core fan base, as well as having a larger volunteer base that we can expand on our tailgate. We want to we want to build the C38 fanbase and have a more active section.

What is your favorite piece from the new line?

I like the shirt I was photographed in, which says "Home is Colorado," but I actually really liked the scarf. I thought that was a really tasteful piece.
