I started playing lacrosse at 8 years old. I made our high school team as an 8th grader and moved up to varsity as a 9th grader. I have a weighted GPA of 3.93 with a rigorous academic schedule. I am not afraid of contact and am very solid at 6'1 225 lbs. I played midfield for 8 years before switching to long pole as I got bigger. I feel my strong suit is the ground ball and clearing. I play defensive lineman our varsity High School football team which have played in the final four twice as a player. I love the physicality of the position which has made me a better lacrosse player (my first love). After a switch in our coaching coaching staff my love and expertise of the sport has blossomed under Tom West (head coach) and Adam Silva(Defense). It learned some invaluable skills from our coaching staff this past year and it has made me love lacrosse even more. I volunteer to coach the middle school lacrosse team and lax events and find that it makes me a better player.
