SJEarthquakes.com - How did you become a Quakes fan?

Juan Meza - "I came to see a few games at Buck Shaw. My wife took me to my first game, actually. I’m from LA. It’s a funny story actually. I always hated the Galaxy. So I didn’t follow MLS until I moved to San Jose and I started to go to Quakes games to become a fan."

SJEQ - Why did you hate the Galaxy?

JM - "I think they’re just one of those teams who think they’re at the top and have that vibe. I didn’t really like it."

SJEQ - Since the club is honoring you as one of the most devoted fans, what does that mean to you?

JM - "It feels amazing. I’ve been helping the community with youth soccer for 6 years now. That’s my motivation; helping kids by getting them to play soccer. I work with PAL Soccer in San Jose. There’s four districts of the program. There's Foothill, Campbell, Rose Garden and I run the Willow Glen area. I’m the Commissioner for Willow Glen. I’ve been coaching the kids for seven to eight years now. I started with the U-6 kids and they’re all in the U-14 age group now. It’s pretty cool."

SJEQ - Do you have a favorite Quakes memory? A game or a moment that sticks out for you?

JM - "The Galaxy game over at Stanford Stadium. The Quakes were down 2-1 and we won at the last minute. I’ve been to a few Clasicos but that was my best memory."
