About Me:

I am entering my first year at Sussex County Community College. Previously, I was the Head Coach at Mount Olive High School where I served as the head varsity coach during the schools inaugural year in 2005, and coached there until 2021. I also served as the assistant coach at Bayley-Ellard High School in Madison in 2003, and took over the program as the head coach in 2004, before the school would close in 2005.

Coaching for my father's lacrosse business, Ath-Ed Sports, I founded the Jersey Thunder Lacrosse Club in 2004. To this day, I am still involved in the program in many capacities.

I attended Montville High School, class of 1997, where I was a three sport athlete (football, wrestling, and lacrosse). I earned all conference honors in football in 1996, and in lacrosse in 1995, 1996, and 1997. I received all state honors in 1997, and broke the Montville High School Scoring record, which stood for 14 years.

I played college lacrosse at Drexel University, and played for the 1998 Drexel Team that stands out as one of the best in the team's NCAA Division 1 history.

Currently, I am a teacher of Marketing and Personal Finance at Mount Olive High School, coach lacrosse for the Newton Lacrosse Club, and I also coach Ice Hockey for the Skylands Kings organization out of Skylands Ice World in Stockholm.
