1. How long have you been playing lacrosse for? 

I think I started playing lacrosse in 3rd grade so about 14-15 years.

2.  What inspired you to join the team here at SLU? 
 
I was recruited to play lacrosse here and really liked the history of the program.

3.  What is your favorite memory of being on the lacrosse team at SLU? 

So far my best memory is beating Union this year but we have a couple big games coming up so that might change.

4.  Did you play any other sports before committing to lacrosse? 

Besides lacrosse, I also played football and basketball. I grew up being the small one in the family at 6’3″. My dad is 6’4″, my older brother is 6’8″, one uncle is 6’5″, another uncle is 6’8″, and my godfather is 6’10” and all of them played basketball in college so I was forced into playing it.

5.  Who is your biggest fan (why)? 

My mom and pops are my biggest fans. They come to every game, home or away, rain/snow or shine.

 6.  How do you feel lacrosse is different from other sports on campus? 

I think lacrosse is different from all sports anywhere. It’s extremely unique, but at the same time it very comparable to almost every sport.

 7.  Do you have any big plans for this semester – bucket list fulfillment’s, etc? 
 
Nothing too big. Just hang out with my friends as much as possible before I graduate.

 8.  Do you have any superstitious pre-game rituals? 

I put on my left cleat then right cleat then tie my right cleat and finish by tying my left one.

  9.  What is your favorite thing to order from the pub? 

It changes a lot but my go to right now is 3 eggs over easy with Mrs. Dash seasoning and an orange juice to drink.

  10.  What are your suggestions for this weekend’s playlist? 

I get all my music from teammates so go onto Tommy Hovey’s or Brett McCormack’s soundcloud if you’re looking for something good.

  11.  Do you have any advice for student athletes? 

Have fun with it

12.  Anything else you’d like to say?
