Recruit Profile
Intelligent, disciplined, unselfish player. A leader and "coach on the field". Strong, fast, and fit.

I do everything in my life with energy and resolve, whether it be on the field or in the classroom. I took six AP classes plus Latin 3 for college credit (Seton Hall University) my junior year and earned straight A's for a 4.9 GPA (my cumulative GPA is 4.5), I earned 1560 on the SAT's with an 800 in Math, and scored a perfect 5 on my US History, Calculus AB, and Comp Sci Prin. AP exams and a 4 on Psychology. My efforts in the classroom were rewarded with my selection as a USA Lacrosse Academic All-American.

Although I shine in the classroom, I am at home on the field. I've had a stick in my hands since I was seven, and I am committed to the most important position on the field, defense. As a freshman, I captained my JV team to an undefeated season, was awarded Defensive Player of the Year, and played with the varsity team through an undefeated regular season and conference championship. My Sophomore season was lost to COVID, but I was a starter and team leader on Varsity during my Junior and Senior years.

A few months before COVID hit, I had the opportunity to travel to Israel in order to play with the Israeli National U19 team, both in country and in the European Lacrosse Championships. During the trip, I visited under-privileged children in Israeli and Arab villages, teaching them about lacrosse and delivering thousands of dollars worth of equipment my teammates and I collected. This effort contributed to my selection as a US Lacrosse Impact Athlete in January of 2021.

My strengths on the field are my intelligence, leadership, and physicality. I am a highly coachable, unselfish athlete who works hard and never quits. As a 13 year old, I was ranked #13 in the country as a track cyclist. When I came to the intersection of my sports, I chose lacrosse because I value the team aspect of the sport. There is something beautiful about the feeling of a well executed slide, GB, or clear. That being said, I am still an avid rider, dividing my time between the lacrosse field, mountain and road biking, my extracurriculars, and of course school.
