I am the son of a coach. I am proud of this, because it has taught me lessons beyond just playing well on the field. I have learned to focus on the most important muscle we have, our mind. I continue to learn that using my head, can overcome physical shortfalls and breakdowns. I work on staying within myself as an athlete. Keeping my head, when I run hot, or an opponent tries to take me out of my game. It is a key factor in any success I am having. I started lacrosse as a 1st grader. My Mom played D1 basketball, and Dad played D1 lacrosse. We are a sports family, with my younger sister, and brother playing multiple sports.
My goal is to find a college that inspires and challenges me to be a better person and student-athlete. I want to be part of a community. Academically I want to excel in the classes that will help me find a job that interests me and can provide a steady income. Currently, I maintain a 3.5 average and my academic interests include Business, History and Aviation.
That mission is similar to the one I want to pursue on the field. My success is not defined by winning more games than you lose. Winning to me is defined by the fight. The amount of work I put into something, to be better each day. The ability to build on the work and efforts you and your teammates/coaches put into something is most important. It is the journey that makes it so special. Effort and outwork everyone. I am growing up in an athletically competitive family which has driven me to work hard. I will bring an unmatched intensity and energy to a team.
I am a multi-sport athlete at Haldane High School, playing Varsity Football, Basketball and Lacrosse. My freshman season in lacrosse I was named a starting defensemen. I was an All-League Selection and was a leader in take aways for Section 1, Class D. I was selected to the 2021 Rhino USA Team. Sophomore year I was again selected to All-League in Section 1. More importantly, I helped our team to a 10-8 record against a very competitive schedule, reaching the quarter finals of the Sectional playoffs. I was recently named Poughkeepsie Journal 1st Team All Star as a defender.
