1. Why did you choose to commit to this college?
I chose Connecticut College because it gave me the perfect opportunity to excel, not only
scholastically and athletically but I felt it was the best place for me to personally grow.
2. What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone younger than you, going through the
same process?
TRUST THE PROCESS…. Things will fall into place, do what you have to do, don’t take
anything for granted, and take advantage of every opportunity.
With that being said, the recruiting process should be enjoyable!
3. What was your favorite part about playing for the FLG lacrosse program?
First and foremost, my teammates were some of the best guys I have ever had the pleasure of
playing/ interacting with. Secondly, FLG offers many tools and guidance which was definitely
helpful during and after the recruiting process.
With FLG, you compete at the highest level against some of the best players in the country, that
alone allowed me to grow greatly as a player.
4. What peaks your interest outside of school and lacrosse?
I love to golf… There are few things better than going out on a course with some friends
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)?
Definitely a dog… I’d be pretty content with that situation.
6. If you had to choose one super power to have, what would it be and why?
Being able to fly would be great.. Would never have to deal with traffic again, which is a huge
plus, now that I am commuting in and out of NYC
7. What are some of your pregame rituals and/or game day superstitions?
I don’t have many, but one big thing is I like to wear a new pair of socks for every game. In
College, I would always have a new pair waiting for me before every game.
It is definitely strange but that could fall under the “screw loose” goalie stereotype
8. What is your favorite surface to play on? Turf or grass?
Definitely turf, grass is ok but being a goalie, I much rather have a clean bounce rather than
having a ball take an altered trajectory, which often happens on grass fields.
9. What is your favorite breakfast meal?
Eggs and Bacon
10. What athlete do you idolize the most?
There are two I have to go with for this question;
Damien Lillard, the guy is absolutely fearless and always plays like he has something to prove.
Zlatan Ibrahimović, the attitude he plays with is something to marvel at.
11. What is your favorite genre of music?
Hip Hop/ Rap
12. What is your favorite quote?
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take – Wayne Gretzky” -Michael Scott
13. Who you look up to the most in life?
My Grandfather, if I could be anywhere near the person he is today, I would be extremely
satisfied.
14. Where do you see yourself after college?
Being just out of college now, when I look back and think about where I would be at this point in
my life, things have changed a bit. But all in all, the “real world” isn’t as bad as it’s made out to
be.
