I started playing travel baseball when I was young and grew to have interest in lacrosse and started playing lacrosse when I was 11. I immediately picked up the skills in lacrosse, had great stick skills and a great shot (per my coaches) and loved the game so I haven’t stopped playing since. The first travel team I played for was LB3 under Dan Cetrone’s leadership and became a key player at midfield. As my skills progressed I became a top faceoff middie winning 90% of faceoffs in tournaments. I started high school and my freshmen year I played on the JV team, although it is very competitive at our high school so our JV team consisted of my travel teammates and we were unstoppable against all of our opponents due to the skill at the JV level. I was moved to attack at the direction of the Varsity coach that year as he felt I would be an asset at that position as well. I am still growing in that position and played attack for my travel team and Varsity team my sophomore year. However, my Varsity coach, Dan Tichy sees me as an asset to play as a transitional middie/attackman since I can perform in both positions saving time on subbing etc. I enjoy playing lacrosse no matter where I am on the field and play as a team player encouraging my teammates along the way as well. I look forward to the upcoming summer of 2019 and my final season in high school, hoping to obtain a spot on a team in college where I can continue playing. I am not picky about the division status, I just want to be at a college that fits me and gives me the ability to still enjoy playing lacrosse while staying within my parents budget for my education. Aside from playing lacrosse my teammates and I participate in many community and school volunteering efforts to stay active in our community and give back outside of playing lacrosse. I work a part time job at a local landscape shop and still maintain school and playing lacrosse year round. I take AP and Honors courses in school. I will also sit for the National German exam this year.
