How long have you been involved with Rhino Lacrosse? I have been involved with Rhino since winter before my junior year.
Do you have a lacrosse mentor? My biggest lacrosse mentor is Dennis Sullivan. He has taught me something about every aspect of lacrosse and life.
How has Rhino Lacrosse helped you? Rhino Lacrosse has helped me get into Kenyon College.
What do you do in your free time? In my free time I bowl, a lot, with teammates. Not particularly well, I’d say average at best, but there is just something about it that seems to make the score not matter sometimes.
How do you see lacrosse impacting your life? I see lacrosse helping me succeed in the work place and take me somewhere as a person, not just an athlete.

Tell us something random: I watched OES play in the state finals my sixth grade year before I even went to the school. It was my first lacrosse game. I went out and bought a stick the next morning and decided that that’s what I’d like to do.
Anything else? When I first met Dennis Sullivan, he threw a lacrosse ball at me and nailed me from 50 yards off because I was talking in the back of line drills. I wasn’t even sure on his name at this point, but it was clear he could throw.
