About Me

My name is Germaine Chambers. I was born on June 17, 

1993, in Kingston, Jamaica. I moved to the states when I was 

eight years old, so I guess you could say I have been fairly 

Americanized. I have two parents, a younger sister, and two 

Shih Tzu’s. I think I did a little bit of everything growing up. 

When I was three years old I started doing karate, and once I 

moved I kept at it until I received my first degree black belt in 

Tae Kwon Do at age eleven. That was my goal for martial 

arts, so once I got my black belt I decided to stick to soccer. 

I told my mom this, and she was fine with it, but she still 

made me try other sports and activities. Jamaicans don’t 

usually play American football; we play soccer or cricket. So 

as a product of my environment, I had no idea how to play 

this new sport. My parents thought I should learn, so they 

put me in pee wee football! I was a decent running back, but 

I ended up doing other things. Like piano lessons, 

skateboarding, paintball, and bass guitar. To this day I still 

like all of those things, but doing them helped me figure out 

that soccer was the one I was most passionate about. I love 

everything soccer, whether its playing, watching, officiating, 

or going ham on anyone who decides they want to challenge 

me in FIFA! I am a recent graduate from Charlotte High 

School. Along with playing soccer I ran track, and I was also 

apart of Interact and Environmental club. I’m currently 

undecided, but senior year I chose to take AP environmental 

science and found out that I genuinely enjoyed the class. So 

I’ll be determining if I want minor or major in that area very 

soon.
