Why did you choose the school? “I chose Shenandoah because it is the perfect size for me. When I was looking at schools I knew I didn’t want a really big school or a really small school and Shenandoah has the right amount of students. It has a business school that offers a business MBA program that I plan on attending. I also loved the campus. And the lacrosse team is a great fit for me and my style of play.”

Outlook for 2015 HS season? “I want to lead my team to a confrence title. I want to improve to first team all confrence this year. I want to set an example for the underclassmen and set a precedent for the Eastern lacrosse team.”
