Recruit Profile
Passionate, determined, patient, strong Lax IQ, quick learner, 6 year England resident and former rugby player.

I’m first and foremost an individual seeking to challenge myself in every way possible. I take the most advanced courses I can in school, seek out and join any and all leagues of lacrosse which are in available times for me and especially those that are leagues of individuals better and older than me. I’m interested in playing the game as much as I’m interested in the game itself and its inner workings. In 2006 my father’s job took my family to London, where I attended TASIS England, where I started my lacrosse career in 2009 and my rugby career in 2010. Having such a cultural and international exposure really exposed me to more than I could ever have imagined, lacrosse related and more. I was given opportunities like playing Men's club ball with my own school coach, who I was truly lucky to have, being a Ohio-Wesleyan graduate, team England player, and as of 2011, England national team coach. Under his tutelage I started for our TASIS Royals varsity lacrosse team in 2010 and 2011 before moving back home to Atlanta, Georgia in 2012, where I continued to start on varsity with the friends I left behind six years earlier. I also was given the opportunity to play Rugby at my school, where I stood out as a strong points scorer and heavy hitter. I was called to play varsity rugby in the winter of 2011/2012 and was planning to attend the ISST international tournament until a broken nose robbed me of a letter and tournament spot. From this game I’ve learned to be able to use my body weight in a much more efficient way and to carry myself in a more commanding form. I retired from rugby upon moving home due to my club coach's lack of concern for player safety. While in Europe I traveled around the globe with my family, school, and with my youth group, YoungLife, to Greece to aid and help the poor of the falling economy. I was blessed with the opportunity of pursuing a valuable education throughout my life, which has shown my strengths and weaknesses, guiding me towards a path of mathematics and sciences. I am extremely interested in studying electrical, mechanical, or better; electromechanical engineering at a school I feel comfortable and at home in that I know will send me on a successful career path with ample preparation.
