Do you remember any coaches or players from your youth lacrosse days that helped you become the player you are currently? If so, who are they and what sort of impact did they make?
It would be two individuals: My father and Paul Walter, who was one of my best friend’s fathers. They both made a huge impact on my youth lacrosse experience, which is what made playing the sport so much fun.
What interested you in attending (and playing) lacrosse at Ithaca College? Also, why did you choose to pursue a degree in accounting?
I knew about the school and Coach Jeff Long because of my dad who played at Ithaca. We visited RIT and Ithaca, but I loved Ithaca the most. I pretty much told myself upon my initial visit to campus that this is where I want to play lacrosse after graduating high school. I choose an accounting degree because I am good with numbers and the puzzles that come with the degree are very intriguing to me.
Do you plan to stay involved with the sport of lacrosse after graduation? If so, what do you plan to do?
I plan on helping the youth program when I am home from school, while also playing in some tournaments over the summer, too.
What is your all-time favorite sports movie?
It would have to be Hoosiers.
