What will you major in/study? Undecided

Why did you choose the school? “For me it was all about keeping things in perspective and focusing on the long term. Johns Hopkins is not only one of the best academic Universities, it also has one of the top lacrosse programs. It’s the best of both worlds. While obtaining a great education, I also get the opportunity to pursue my dream of playing lacrosse for a school with such a rich tradition of success. My visit with Coach (Dave) Pietramala was awesome. His dedication and genuine concern for his players was apparent, as well as key factor in my decision.”

What is your HS team’s outlook for next season? “It’s no secret we lost an amazing senior class, but with a great group of returning players and some of the best coaches in the area we are prepared to work hard and be ready for great season. We are young, determined and excited to step up to the challenge and continue the Fords’ winning tradition!”

Other schools considered? Penn, North Carolina, Duke, Maryland, Princeton, Notre Dame

Other comments: “Thanks to my Haverford coaches, Coach (John) Nostrant, especially for all your time and support during this entire process, Coach (Mark) Petrone, Coach (Travis) Loving and Coach (Paul) O’Grady. Thanks to my Mesa coaches, Coach (Peter) Rohr for all of your guidance both on and off the field, Coach (Mark) Aitken and Coach (Brad) Ament. Thanks also to my Dukes coaches, Coach Ebe (Helm) and Coach (Jason) Christmas. Thanks to all of my Fever and Collegeville Cougar coaches from years past.
