I began lacrosse in the fifth grade after learning about it from a mutual friend who I played football with. I played lacrosse, hockey, and football up until my sophomore year of high school where I decided to play lacrosse exclusively. In my youth experience I played in the World Series of Youth Lacrosse along with my local team and got 2nd place in the DFW Youth Lacrosse League my 8th grade year. I was the D2 team captain my sophomore year and won the Texas High School Lacrosse League state championship on the Division 1 team this year, while still maintaining my position in the National Honor Society and doing service work weekly for my community.
