Why did you choose Ohio State University, Men’s D1? “I was looking for a school with a big campus and an electric atmosphere. When I spoke with Coach Myers and Coach Crane and they already knew so much about my game and exactly how I would fit into their plan I knew this was the place for me! Their focus on brotherhood and playing for each other was also really important to me.”
Is there anything else you would like to share? “Thanks to God – for his plan; my parents & grandparents for their support; Joe Cinosky- One of my first coaches, who taught me how to better focus; Arno Olivier – my trainer, who taught me all of the smaller details in stick protection & footwork; Athan Sunderland & Ron Klausner – my Slainte Coaches for development; Coach Ripley & Coach Cottle, my Annapolis Hawks coaches for continued development; and last but not least, my high school coach, Nick Holota.”
