Career
College
Hesmer played college soccer at Wake Forest University from 2000 to 2003, establishing himself as one of the nation's best goalkeepers at that level. As a junior, Hesmer was named an NSCAA second team All-American, and as a senior was named a first team All-American.
Professional
After graduating from college, Hesmer was drafted 17th overall in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft by the Kansas City Wizards. However, with Tony Meola starting in goal, and the very experienced Bo Oshoniyi as his backup, Hesmer was not able to establish himself, and finished the MLS season without playing a single minute, although he did take to the field - for one single minute in a game against Rochester Raging Rhinos - during a brief loan spell with the Richmond Kickers in the A-League.[1]
In the 2006 season, Hesmer earned a handful of appearances, but did not make an impact on the first team. He was selected in the 2006 MLS Expansion Draft by Toronto FC, but was only with the club for a matter of hours before being dealt to the Columbus Crew for a partial allocation. The 2007 season saw Hesmer establish himself as the first team keeper for the Crew. He started 20 matches for the Columbus club.
In the 2008 season Hesmer stopped penalty kicks in each of the Crew's first two matches, as well as a third against New England in May 08. He has been called into camp for the United States National Team but has yet to receive a cap.
