My love for the game of lacrosse is what drives me to become better. I started playing lacrosse at age 8 and have been pushing myself to perfect the position of defenseman since the age of 11. I have strived to learn every aspect of the position and have been successful helping my teams win. Playing for a service academy is now my collegiate goal (USNA, USMMA) and have been playing for several top club teams in both outdoor and indoor lacrosse to prepare myself for the day I can help them win. After college, I plan to have a career as either a US Naval Officer or Officer in the Maritime industry. While not playing lacrosse, I strive every day to push myself in the classroom and weight room. I believe that my discipline and maturity make me the best candidate for a service academy. I have a 3.9 GPA in all honors courses. I truly believe that if given the chance, my preparation and dedication to scholastics and lacrosse will make me a successful student athlete at a service academy.
