Why did you choose the school? “I chose Fairfield because it is a great fit, providing strong academics. It is a top tier lacrosse program with a great tradition. The atmosphere, size and facilities were all things I was looking for in a school.”
HS team’s outlook for 2017 season? “This season my outlook is to be in the same spot as last year and further – which would be the NJ State Championship and TOC. We only have a few goals this season; which are to get better as players, win games and win a State Championship. We have great returning varsity players with strong leadership in the senior class. We also have a team working hard in the off season to help the team achieve these goals. The outlook looks bright and I am excited for my final season as a Quaker.”

Next i would like to thank my coaches at Moorestown, Dukes, and Big 4 and any other coaches I’ve had along the way. They have taught me many things and increased my level of play as well as maturity as an athlete and helped prepare me for the highest level of lacrosse. Finally, my teammates and friends who I have had the opportunity to with have made me a better player. All of these people have helped and impacted me along the way and would like to say thank you.”
