Why did you choose VMI? “I felt the most comfortable with the VMI coaching staff and feel that the program is in the position to achieve great things in the near future. I also believe that a military education puts me in the best environment to succeed after College, whether I decide to serve in the Armed Forces or not.”

What are your thoughts on this past HS lacrosse season/team’s outlook for next season? “Last season was definitely full of peaks and valleys and we finished with an overall record of 7-11. Hopefully we will be able to win a few more of the games we should win and come out with a few upsets to compete for an ISL Championship.”
