At 3 ½ years old I began playing house league Box Lacrosse for my hometown center in Courtice Ontario. After three years, I began playing Rep Lacrosse from Tyke and never looked back.
In my Major Pee Wee year our team did not qualify for the Provincials. Scott McCrory the coach of the Bantam 1 Team came up to me and asked if I would be interested in playing for him. We won a gold medal after a hard-fought game against Oakville which went into double overtime. I was awarded a Gold Medal and a Championship Box Lacrosse Jacket that I wear proudly. It was an experience and a memory I will never forget and I will always be honored that I was asked to participate on that team with great players and coaches.
I have had the opportunity to play for two travel teams, Evolve Elite Lacrosse and my current club team of 6 years Edge Lacrosse. Between both clubs, I have had coaches who were MLL & NLL affiliated and others were NCAA / CUFLA alumni. From every coach, I have learned to be a better player at the “X” position and respect the game, teammates, coaches and officials.
I have learned that through hard work and being respectful at all times opportunities arise and doors open. I have been give the opportunity to work along side Adrian Sorichetti of Paradigm Lacrosse and help mentor other young lacrosse players. By being involved with this program I have had the opportunity to bridge relationships with other National Lacrosse League Players which have given me tips in making my game that much stronger. This one door has given me access to other training cadres such as The Durham Lacrosse Clinic and Next Level Lacrosse. By being able to help on the floor with these training groups reinforces my core abilities.
Major lacrosse highlights include being selected to the 2016 ACLG All-Star Team (2019/2020) while being a 2021 graduate. Also, participating in the United Capital Challenge and once again being selected to the All-Star Game.
Edge Lacrosse has offered the opportunity to grow and develop into the player I am today and continues to support my dream of playing in the NCAA through guidance, mentorship and scholastic achievement.
Currently my focus is on my grades and perfecting my game through opportunities that have been
