During the opening season of the Portland Timbers MLS team, I had the opportunity to be a part of the Timbers Army supporters, and my life has never be the same. I will be a Timbers fan for life, and I know any soccer fans in the other MLS cities are jealous of the crowd we bring to every game.

I was so inspired by my experiences amongst the soldiers of the Timbers Army that I decided to create and brand a special subsection of the Army: the elite Alpha Company.
