Season Ticket Holder Since: 1998
Favorite Fire Moment: Frankie Klopas scoring the game winning goal in the 1998 Open Cup. I was a 20 year old kid and everyone went crazy. Last year's Open Cup victory was awesome because it was the same feeling of joy - just now I could share it with my kids.
Favorite Fire Player: Ever, Kubik, Nowak or Stoichkov. Now, Justin Mapp, Gonzalo Segares, Blanco & Ivan Guerrero. That being said, I respect CJ, Armas and Diego for putting everything they had on the line for the Fire every time they put on the Fire uniform for so long.

Favorite game day element: I love soccer. The Fire is the best soccer around. I get to watch them play, support my favorite team, and share it with friends and family every game. I also love watching Liam on the stand in Section 8, I don't know why, I just do.
