Thank You for all the sacrifices you’ve made to make time for us, and for believing in us and listening to our input.

What would you like to say to your parents?

I can’t say enough about my parents, they are the two most influential people in my life. They have always supported me with whatever I decided to do. Without them, I wouldn’t be who I am today. They taught me the value in hardwork and doing things to the best of your ability even when others aren’t. Thank You for all the sacrifices you have made to help me succeed!

What would you like to say to your teammates, either specifically or as a whole?

I’ve had the best teammates I could ever ask for! In football and lacrosse, they were all selfless players who wanted to win, and wanted what was best for the team.

Advice for underclassmen teammates?

Never get outworked, there is no substitute for hardwork. Also enjoy every moment as it comes, love the process! Because you just never know when your last time playing could be. 

Who has served as an inspiration to you in your sport?

  My oldest brother Andrew has been my inspiration to be great in both of the sports I played.
