How many siblings do you have?

I have two siblings.

And what was it like being the baby of the family?

It was amazing. You get what you want, every time.

Electric toothbrush or manual?

I use both. I have both. I use electric when I'm here at home and manual when I’m away.

Are you an early bird or a night owl?

I’m a bit of both, it depends. Me wanting to be responsible, I try to get to bed early. But on an off day, I'll do my thing – stay up, watch movies, play games with my friends and push my limits.

What are two of your favorite food cuisines?

Asian and Jamaican. I love Jamaican food.

If you could only have one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

That’s tough. I’m going to go with curry goat with rice and peas with a side of plantain. My other option would be a soft, chewy dumpling.

Smile with teeth or soft smile?

A bit of both, depending on my vibe. So I could do the “cheese” or I could do the grin.

TV or movies?

I'm a movie guy.

“Euphoria.” Euphoria has been really good to me.

And what movie would you recommend?

“Paid in Full,” if you haven’t watched it yet, you have to watch it.

You grew up in Queens, New York. How often are you able to get back and visit?

I try to get back every summer. In December, I like to be responsible and work out for the season here for the second half. In the summertime, I like to get back and soak in some love.

Be with family. I'm super family-oriented. So chill with my people, chill with friends, go out shopping, do the full list of things.

Africa as a whole. I've been to a few places, South Africa, Liberia, Ghana. Those trips have been amazing.

Is there a memory that makes you think of that country when you travel?

Connecting with the locals and the people. It’s amazing knowing their struggles and knowing what they go through daily. It brings you back down to earth. It’s a humble experience each time. And, that's my home, that's where my blood is, those are where my roots come from.

What is something that you always have to travel with?

A fresh pair of kicks.

What's something that is on your bucket list?

I want to go to the Philippines and try balut. As a foodie and as someone that is always on YouTube watching the Food Channel, I want to explore that side of me because I'm really picky, so I want to get out there and try new things.

Roselle Soccer Club in Queens, New York.

What’s a USMNT memory that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face?

Any time that I get to spend time with my brothers, specifically Chris Richards and Mark McKenzie. We've shared so much over the years. I had the opportunity to be at Mark's wedding, so that was amazing. It was really fun. Anytime I get with my boys in general, the whole team, it’s fun.

When this tournament is over, and you look back, what do you hope people say about the way you played and carried yourself?

Just happy. I want to bring a lot of people joy. I play with so much pride. Sometimes, a lot of things get in the way, but hopefully I can leave them with a loving experience, an experience that brought the whole world together and the whole United States together. I can't wait to be out there and representing my country.
