He grew up in Manhasset learning the game of lacrosse from one the preeminent youth coaches in the country, his Father, MC Bitter. He graduated from Manhasset and moved on to a PG year at Deerfield Academy before landing at UNC. He went on to have one of the greatest offensive careers in UNC’s history. After college, he signed with Maverik Lacrosse and played professionally in the MLL. From there he transitioned into a marketing role at Maverik Cascade Lacrosse where he still serves today. Billy’s passion for the game as a player and mentor always centered on the philosophy of keeping the sport “fun”. With that in mind, he helped craft the North Country Lax Academy program, which has grown to host over 400 campers every summer in Stowe for a refreshingly unique lacrosse adventure experience.
