He works at Central Valley Builders Supply in St. Helena.
He trains with Napa Valley 1839 F.C., a National Premier Soccer League team that is in the West Region and Golden Gate Conference. He’s a practice player with Napa Valley 1839 F.C., which went 7-2-1, finishing in second place in the eight-team conference.

Former NVC golf star Charles Porter plays in PGA Tour’s Barracuda Championship
For the second time this year, former Napa Valley College star golfer Charles Porter was in the field for a PGA Tour event.
In February, he played in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on a sponsor exemption. The event, which carried a $9 million purse, is played at Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Course and Monterey Peninsula Country Club’s Shore Course. Porter failed to make the 54-hole cut after rounds of 75, 72 and 78.
A lot going on during summer for players in Napa Valley College men’s soccer program
There is a lot going on this summer for players in the Napa Valley College men’s soccer program.
There are the three days each week – Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, from 9-11 a.m. – that they have for training sessions. It’s a six-week course, led by head coach Rogelio Ochoa, that began in late June and ends in early August. And then, after about a week off, it’s right back to practices as the Storm continues to prepare for the 2023 season.
There are also the classes that they are taking during the summer months.
The summer course, Ochoa said, is a good opportunity for the incoming freshmen to get an understanding of the facilities and how the team trains, while getting to know the staff and their new teammates.
