Rugby and sports have been a huge part of my life. From a little kid to now, 27 years old still trying to pursue the dream of being a professional athlete. Still training and pushing to be better then I was yesterday. I have been playing for about 13 years. Started in 8th grade at sandburg middle school thanks to Mark Nelson my coach, teacher and all around friend. I kept playing Rugby in High School with the Robbinsdale Lions. Going to state twice, being a captain, making multiple minnesota select teams. I then continued on to men's league after graduation. Playing with the D2 Saint Paul Jazz Pigs for 2013-2014., and earning Rookie of the Year honors. I Then moved onto the Eastside Banshees/Youngbloods to focus more on 7s. Playing from 2014-2016. I was honors rookie of the year my first season, and "Back of the Yea" the next. I finally chose to test my waters in D1 with Metropolis RFC. Playing at this higher level in my first season for 15s. Receiving 7s player of the year my first sevens 7s with Metropolis. Having this combined experience, I was selected as the Most Improved Played in my second year. As I continue to play with them now, I'm still trying to keep climbing, learning, and improving.

An opportunity has come about to take the next step in my development The establishment of the Pro Rugby 7s Rugby League, a professional sevens league is forming. As the league grows, the opportunities for players grows as well. As many well known players join the league, I'm looking to attend the league combine, taking my next step and pursuing this once in a lifetime opportunity. The try out is in Memphis, TN. September 13th.

As I work to prepare on the pitch, I work to gather the resources to get to Memphis as well. I have not gotten to this point without the support of my coaches, and teammates, and I'm looking for similar support for this opportunity as well.

Carter as committed that any surplus funds will go to Youth Rugby. passing it sideways
