What's up Striker Family. I hope this message finds you all doing well. For those of you guys that don't know me, my name is Kiki, I played for the Stiker Renegades back in the day until 2000. The last nine years, I played my college ball at Incarnate Word in San Antonio, TX and then have since played 5 seasons in the USL-1. At the moment Ashley (my wife) and I are living in Portland where I have finished my second season with the Timbers. Soccer has taken me around the North American continent to play and to live and those experiences have brought me great memories. Now I am about to take a trip to Brussels, Belgium for a 10 day trip where the team I will be playing with will have 5 games against Premier League, 2nd Division and 3rd Division teams from Belgium in hopes of earning a contract. The team I am playing with will be a group of guys all recommended through word of mouth all looking for a chance to earn themselves a contract in Europe. I have never seen Europe and never been overseas so this will be a completely new experience for me. I will be leaving Sunday from Portland and arriving into Brussels Monday morning. I will be checking in daily from Brussels so check it out. -Kiki
