Baker, who received a full athletic scholarship in 1998 after his footballing days at St Benedict’s College, La Romain, is currently at the University of Indiana where he is pursuing Sports Management and Marketing at the post-graduate level.

He also represented the Trinidad and Tobago Under-17 team during the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers in 1996.
