    Transfermarkt says he's played this season for US Sportive Terre Sainte, as one does.

    He was born in New York to Japanese and Iranian parents, then raised in Switzerland.

    Played at Emerson while a music student at Berkeley.

    So, your basic path to Yanks Abroad I'd say.

    The club site has not proven so useful thus far.

    I will get on it. Terre Sainte is a club right around Geneva. They are currently 10th out of 14 teams in Group 1 of the 1st Division. The 1st Division is the 4th League in Switzerland. From game reports it looks like plays right wing or right defense. He seems to be a bench player, who gets in for about 30 min at a time.

    Still no word on Nationality, but I will work on it.

    I will get on it. Terre Sainte is a club right around Geneva/Nyon. That fits with his French background. They are currently 10th out of 14 teams in Group 1 of the 1st Division. The 1st Division is the 4th League in Switzerland. From game reports it looks like plays right wing or right defense. He seems to be a bench player, who gets in for about 30 min at a time.

    Some sites say he's with or recently was with the second team of Lausanne Sport. It seems he works for UEFA now, per LinkedIn.
