Why did you choose Howard CC? “I had the opportunity to play D2 lacrosse for a year at Notre Dame de Namur University, One year of college lacrosse made me fall in love with the game more than I ever thought possible. When the school had made the decision to close at the end of my sophomore year and with corona Virus having causing spring sports to be canceled, rather than seeing it as a negative I saw it as an opportunity. I would use this opportunity to train very hard so that I can preform at Howard CC and prove myself as an excellent lacrosse player and hopefully set my self up with some Division 1 and Division 2 opportunities in the following years. I want to be able to come back to Washington and help grow the game of lacrosse in my community as will as represent the Northwest and help break the beliefs that East Coast lacrosse players are better than Northwest players and what better way to do this than going the the cradle of the game in Maryland.”

Is there anything else you would like to share? “Thank you Coach Brian Silcott for helping me love the game of lacrosse even in the worse times. Thank you Josh Peck for giving me the opportunity to play on my first club team. “
