What will you major in/study? Quantitative Finance
Why did you choose school? “I chose Stevens Institute of Technology because it alines with all of my academic and athletic values. It’s home to a one-of-a-kind quantitative finance program that is unmatched anywhere at the undergraduate level. The campus is located in Hoboken, New Jersey, just a 10-minute train ride from the heart of New York City and the financial capital of the world. Coach (Gene) Peluso and Coach (Brian) DiBetta did an outstanding job making me feel as if I was already a part of the Stevens lacrosse family.”
Thoughts on your HS team’s 2016 season? “This past season, our team suffered a heart breaking loss to Owen J. Roberts in the waning seconds of our conference semifinal. In the 2016 season we are looking to make a run toward a conference championship. With a strong core of returning starters, our team has all the tools to do some real damage in the PAC-10.”
Thank You: “I would like to thank Coach Bryan Churchey, Coach Chris Defeo and the rest of the Perkiomen Valley lacrosse program for helping develop me from a middle school beginner to a collegiate caliber lacrosse player.
“I would also like to thank Coach Jack Devlin, Coach Greg Flego, Coach Mike Donnelly and all of Twist Lacrosse for their help and support throughout my entire recruiting process.
“In addition, thank you Coach John Bodnar and Coach Mike Dolente. The Philly Face-off League has been instrumental in creating the player I am today.
“Also, special thanks go to my parents for their unconditional love and support. Your effort does not go unnoticed.”
