Born with Indigenous ancestry, he announced he will be changing his name to Netshetep Ma'at, which is an Ancient Egyptian Order name as well as Songan Ohitekha Tawa El (which means Strong Brave Sun), an Indigenous Appellation name.[1]
Throughout his playing career he competed in all levels of the American and Canadian soccer pyramid system. Originally beginning in his native country in the National Soccer League, soon after to the USL A-League, and eventually reaching the highest level of soccer in North America with the Major League Soccer. After reaching the MLS, he would shift between various United Soccer Leagues clubs, until returning to the MLS on a loan deal and appeared in a single match at the age of 39. He would concluded his outdoor career in the USL Premier Development League and Canadian Soccer League. Titus also competed in indoor soccer with various clubs in the National Professional Soccer League, and played at the international level with the Trinidad and Tobago national football team.
After his retirement from competitive soccer he made the transition to the managerial side.

He later joined the TFC Academy managerial staff as the U14 head coach, and subsequently began coaching in League1 Ontario initially with North Mississauga SC.
