1. Why did you choose to commit to this college?
I chose Trinity because it offered both the opportunity to play in the NESCAC, the most
competitive D3 lacrosse conference, and the opportunity to pursue any major I could imagine—
something most small liberal arts colleges don’t.
2. What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone younger than you, going through the same
process?
Take the process seriously. Try to understand what it really is you want from your
lacrosse/college experience and go from there.
3. What was your favorite part about playing for the FLG lacrosse program?
FLG is a winning program. Everyone who plays a sport plays it because they enjoy it. The most
enjoyable part, though, is winning; and FLG provided that opportunity.
4. What peaks your interest outside of school and lacrosse?
I really enjoy paddle boarding in the Long Island Sound.
5. If you were stranded on a deserted island and you can only have one thing, what would it be
(you have food and water)?
A paddle board set.
6. If you had to choose one super power to have, what would it be and why?
I would like any amount of sleep to be equivalent to 8 hours.
7. What are some of your pregame rituals and/or game day superstitions?
Chug a large black iced coffee right before we walk out.
8. What is your favorite surface to play on? Turf or grass?
I haven’t played on grass in a long time; but I think a nice, well-kept grass field is great.
9. What is your favorite breakfast meal?
Scrambled eggs with any kind of vegetables tossed in.
10. What athlete do you idolize the most?
Definitely Derek Jeter.
11. What is your favorite genre of music?
Whatever genre O.A.R. is considered.
12. What is your favorite quote?
“You have to give 100 percent in the first half of the game. If that isn’t enough, in the second
half, you have to give what’s left.” – Yogi Berra
13. Who you look up to the most in life?
No one in particular because no one is perfect. I aspire to ideals, which obviously I will never
reach, but that just affords me the opportunity to always keep working.
14. Where do you see yourself after college?
Working a lot and wishing I was back in high school/college playing lacrosse
