What will you major in/study? Economics

Why did you choose Brown? “Coach (Lars) Tiffany had a big part in my decision to attend Brown. He is very enthusiastic about a Brown education and excited about the lacrosse program. I am very interested in the open curriculum. It is appealing to me and unique in the Ivy League.”

What is your HS team’s outlook for next year? “We hope to make it to the CHSAA championship. We have a good core of returning seniors and a very good junior class.”

Additional comments: “I was fortunate through the years to have very good coaching; Coach Schmitt and Coach Sofield in Pal and Coach (Mike) Chanenchuck as I got older. I feel very blessed and privileged to be part of a winning program at Chaminade, and to play with such committed teammates. Coach (Robert) Pomponio and Coach (Jack) Moran are great men who have made a tremendous influence in my life and I will always be grateful for that. Most of all I would like to thank my Dad, who was always with me and directed me both on the field but more so with my studies. He showed me how to keep my priorities in order.”
