What will you major in/study? Business

Why did you choose Brown? “Brown offers a perfect combination of academics and athletics; two qualities I always look for in a school. Coach (Lars) Tiffany, Coach (Kip) Turner, and Coach (Steven) Boyle made me feel like a part of the community on my visit. Brown is definitely the place for me and I can’t wait to attend the school in two years.”

Outlook for your High School team? “Prep has an amazing senior class, all 12 seniors will go on to play college lacrosse. They’re all great leaders and all around great guys. I’m honored to play with them this upcoming spring. Also, our coaches are none to be rivaled with. Coach Giblin, Coach Horning and Coach Moon always know what is best for the player, team and school. I couldn’t be more lucky to be surrounded by the Prep lacrosse community and look forward to a great season with an IAC championship win.”

Thank You: “I couldn’t have done anything without Coach Giblin and the support of my family, friends, and teammates. Thanks also to coaches Hilgartner, Whitty, Glading, Kistler, Hirsch and the Club Blue Organization who all made significant contributions to my development as a player. My Dad, Mom and brother have always been there for me and I will forever be grateful to them.”
