What will you major in/study? Business
Why did you choose Binghamton? “Binghamton is considered a ‘Public Ivy’ with great academics and a beautiful location. Second year Coach Scott Nelson is a top-flight Division I coach and was “New England Coach of the Year” with Brown and took Marist to the MAAC tournament two years in a row. He immediately made me feel comfortable on my visit. Overall, the program has a bright future.”
Outlook for your high school team next season? “Half Hollow Hills East reached the Elite Eight this year in Division I, Suffolk County and we expect to reach the Final Four next year.”
Additional Comments: “I would like to thank my high school coaches; Coach Hodgson, Conway, Fox, Maloney, and Harris. Also, Coach Ken Miller from the Long Island Sting. All have helped me become the player and person I am today. My dad, despite never having played lacrosse, learned the game and has had a major influence on me as well.”
