He played college soccer at the University of Louisville from 2003 to 2007. He was named to the Athletic Director's Honor Roll on three occasions, and was named to the Conference USA All-Freshman team in his debut year, and was the 2008 Big East Scholar Athlete of the Year.

Professional

He began his career in 2008 with the Italia Shooters in the Canadian Soccer League.[1] After spending a year playing indoor soccer with Milwaukee Wave in the Xtreme Soccer League, Terminesi signed with the Minnesota Thunder of the USL First Division in May 2009.[2] He made his debut for the team on May 31, 2009, in a game against the Puerto Rico Islanders.[3] He then joined the Montreal Impact on July 27, 2010. He was released by Montreal on October 12, 2011.[4]

Health issues

In February 2010 Terminesi announced that he likely had a tumor on the pineal gland in the center of the brain, and would be retiring from soccer indefinitely until such time as his health issues had been solved.[5]

He recovered enough to join Montreal Impact in the USSF Division 2 Professional League for the second half of the 2010 season.
