As a senior at Bishop Lynch High School in Dallas, Texas, Garcia won the 1996-97 Gatorade National Boys Socccer Player of the Year award. Garcia played college soccer at Indiana University, leading Indiana to the consecutive national titles in 1998 and 1999, and was named All-American in his final season. He signed with Project-40 and MLS in 2000, and was drafted second overall (behind colossal disappointment Steve Shak) in the 2000 MLS SuperDraft by the Kansas City Wizards.

Garcia captained the US Under-20 national team at the World Youth Championship in Nigeria in 1999 and earned his first cap for the full national team on February 12, 2003, against Jamaica. So far, he has amassed six caps for the United States.
