I was introduced to lacrosse in 1st grade, when attending my elementary school orientation. The man recruiting kids to play lacrosse told me the sport was like a combination of soccer, hockey, and football all wrapped up in one. As soon as I got to put on a helmet, I was hooked and never have looked back. I have played/earned my way up to club lacrosse with Thunder Blue Elite 2025 team, and have been on multiple national and senior select teams in Georgia. In 2020 US Club Lacrosse named me a 2025 Player to Watch as a LSM. I am a versatile player able to play both long and short stick, offensively and defensively wherever the team most needs my skills. I also play football for my school in the lacrosse off season. I have enjoyed playing football as it has helped by lacrosse game tremendously. The "team" aspect of sports and playing together towards a goal greater than ourselves is what really attracts me to athletics. Living in a non-traditional lacrosse state, I feel like I need to individually play with a "chip on my shoulder" at all my events to get noticed by the top talent in my class. I attend Walton High School (Go Raiders!), and have really liked learning about computer design, and physics. My family stays very busy so I like spending down time at the beach and surf fishing with my younger brother.
