I started Topbin90 as an outlet to talk about football and I never Imagined I could turn this into what it's becoming. I like to think of Topbin90 as a way for fans to get the latest information and an outlet to voice football opinions in an interactive and entertaining way. I believe the future is about creating content that is informative and enjoyable and that is what Topbin90 will always be about.

MLS has grown to be more than a passion for me. I have followed the league since its inception and feel fortunate to get to write, podcast, and share my opinions about MLS and Charlotte FC. I am motivated by the desire to help play a small part in enriching other people’s experience with the club, league, and sport as we grow the beautiful game together in our community and beyond.
