At what age did you first start playing lacrosse, and what was the first lacrosse team you ever played on (and where, meaning, city and state)?
I was four years old when I started playing. It was the Penn Yan Lacrosse program.
What are you looking forward to the most in the first season of the PBLA, and why?
Competing and playing in Elmira in front of friends and family and competing with the team.
What would you say is the strongest part of your game?
My lacrosse IQ.
What is the biggest adjustment going from field lacrosse to box lacrosse? The overall physicality of box lacrosse is a lot different than field lacrosse.
It’s more fast-paced, and you really have to use your lacrosse skills to make plays.
Even though athletes always talk about “team first,” have you set any personal goals for this first season in the PBLA? If Yes, please share at least one.
I haven’t set any personal goals, but a goal of mine is to always be a good teammate.
On a scale of 1-10 with one being “not at all” and ten being “embarrassing, I shouldn’t even play,” how nervous will you be on the night of your team’s first game and why?
I’m not going to be nervous. I’ll definitely be excited. It’ll be a great night. In the first game of the season, there’s always a mix of nerves and excitement. So far in the preseason, we’ve put together a good team and worked hard, so it’ll be good to see that come together.
If you could have a song play every time you score a goal, which would you pick (title and artist)?
“Lottery,” by K Camp
If it’s up to you, what do you choose to eat as your pregame meal? (specifically, not just “something healthy”)
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a Reese’s cup.
What’s most misunderstood about the sport of lacrosse?
The stereotype around the people that play the sport.
Who is your closest friend on your PBLA team? Is there a history there?
I’ve got a couple buddies on our team. Austin Finger I grew up with playing lacrosse. And Jake Pulver and Adam Osieka I played with on an outdoor team.
