Why did you choose school? “Air Force was my top choice because of the great education I would receive, the opportunity that presents itself after attending the Academy and in general what the Air Force stands for. Their motto is Developing Leaders of Character.”

Thoughts on HS season, 2015 outlook: “I was out for the season with a broken collar bone but was able to make it back on the field for the playoffs this year. We made it to the final four in the state playoffs. I am looking forward to next year’s season. We have a skillful line up of returning starters and expect and hope to make it far in the playoffs with a goal to win State!”

Thank You: “I want to thank the coaches in my early youth lacrosse years such as Coach Bob Seebold for teaching me enthusiasm for the game; and my High School coaches, Coach Derek Thomson, Coach Chris Van Dorn and C2C Coach John Marano for their support and guidance. And last but not least my parents and family for always being there to support me!”
