Earthquakes Georgian midfielder is not a man of many words. With his soft, mild manner, he is many times seen in the background of the Quakes locker room, keeping to himself. This stealth-like persona often comes in handy on the pitch, as defenders and midfielders alike are not expecting the moves and agility that he possesses.
His life off the pitch has been characterized by change, moving at a young age to Holland to pursue a soccer career, and experiencing the political changes in his home country as Georgia gained independence and set up its own democracy. Despite all these changes, it is family that has played a constant in his life.
