Major lacrosse honors, camps and showcases: Brine National High School All-American, All-County Second Team, County Champions, Garden State Showcase, Pride of New Jersey Showcase, Brine National Classic, Blue Chip 225
What will you major in/study? Mechanical Engineering
Why did you choose school? “I like the size and the feeling of WNE. I like that I can enroll in the five-year master’s program in mechanical engineering with a concentration in mechatronics. Coaches (John) Klepacki, and coaches (Mike) Murray and (Connor) Mooney, made me feel very welcome when I visited. They understand that, only a few years into the sport, my best years are ahead of me. They know how I can help the team, and it feels like a very good fit. And it is a lacrosse program with a lot of engineers, that offers a lot of support for the work I’ll need to do on and off the field.”
Thoughts on your HS team’s season? “I believe 2016 will be a good season for us. We have a lot of returning starters, most of them seniors, and I think we’ll go far and make a statement.”
Thank You: “I was helped tremendously by working with a number of Northern New Jersey lacrosse coaches over the past few years: Trevor Teel, Shelly Sheiner, Jaz Bailey, Scott Leathem, Dave Ahlert, Sean Kelly, Rob Carothers, Brian Kutzleb.”
Other schools considered: Elizabethtown College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Stevens Institute of Technology, Wentworth Institute of Technology
