His most memorable football experiences has been “playing in the US at the Thanksgiving Day tournaments over the last 3 years. This allowed me to strengthen current friendships and make new ones. We also won the OVFL Junior varsity championship last year.”
The biggest influence in his football career has been “my brother Jared Manchulenko. Jared has been coaching me since the day I was born and showed me how to get better every day and always pushed me to be the best I can be. Also, I am thankful to all my BMFA coaches that have given of themselves over the past 11 years. Lastly, my Mom for being so supportive and always reminding me I can do anything I set my mind to.”
