Porter is most known for scoring a stoppage time equalizer for the Impact in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal against Pachuca, sending his team to the semis on away goals.

That was one of only two appearances he made for the Impact before he tore his ACL. He was traded to SKC before last season, where he only played three times for them all year.

The next step for the Princeton graduate is running a management consultant firm called Hex Ventures, of which he is a co-founder.
