Testimonials
“Between myself and my two girls, I’ve only had a combined total of five years away from the Cali world since I started at the age of 2 in 1986, and my girls started at the ages of 3 and 5 in 2016. My Nana was also a Cali girl, and I even have her blazer from the Inter National Team in the 1950’s.”
