I have been involved in lacrosse now for over 25 years. Growing up in an area where the sport was not part of the community, I picked up the game in college and vowed that I would bring it back home. I returned after playing lacrosse at both SUNY Cobleskill and SUNY Cortland. As a teacher at Wallkill Senior High School, an opportunity presented itself early on, and I started the Wallkill Boys Varsity program in the early 2000s. Coaching that team for 9 years, I left to focus on my own family, but not before guiding the team to 4 Consecutive Section 9 Class B Championship games in my final years with the team. Since leaving the high school level, I have been heavily involved with the Minisink Valley Youth Lacrosse Program and Club Travel teams with my two daughters and son. Currently I am the coach of the Yellow Jackets Rockland 2025 team.
