What will you major in/study? Business

Why did you choose Detroit Mercy? “I really like the campus and how much personal attention is given to each player’s education. I also like the teacher-to-student ratio and all the great people I met – the faculty, students, players and coaching staff. In addition, the University is close enough to my home so my family can watch me play.”

Outlook for 2015 HS season? “This will be the first season in a new conference, the South Suburban Conference, which is debatably the best conference in Minnesota. Farmington is a young team that is working really hard in preparation for the new competition.”

Thank You: “A special thank you goes out to my parents for always being there for me during my youth lacrosse, high school and club team career. I’d like to thank HS coaches Paul Sorenson and Isaiah Neal; True MN coaches L.C. Moerschel, Ryan Burt and Geoff Lasda; and HS strength coach Scott Meier. I’d also like to thank my teammates, friends, family, teachers, and the Farmington community. Everyone has been very supportive of academics and sports.”
