Early life

Sheldon was born on 23 August 1992 in Bellevue, Washington, United States. He grew up in Portland, Oregon with his brother, sister and parents. He played recreational soccer until 5th grade, when he joined his first club team. At the time, soccer was just one of many sports that Sheldon played - he played basketball, baseball and American football as well[citation needed]

Sheldon attended Lincoln High School in Portland, Oregon. Alongside high school soccer, he played for Westside Metros Remix FC.

In November 2016, Sheldon announced that he would play for Saint Louis FC for the 2017 USL season.[6]

In March 2018, it was announced Sheldon would play for amateur club side Waterside Karori in Wellington, New Zealand.[7][8]

He married his partner, Mimi Estelle on December 4, 2021.[20]

When asked who motivated him to become a soccer player, Sheldon cited his parents as a motivation to become a professional athlete, he stated in an interview "My parents were the biggest supporters of my athletic career since the start. My Dad pushed me to go for a D1 scholarship when I was unsure of my capabilities. They supported me every step of the way, and without them I don't know if I would have even made it to Varsity High School soccer. Having the belief of your parents is such a huge motivation as a young athlete".[21]
