What attracted you to US Lacrosse?
The fun and dynamic atmosphere, along with the idea that someone would actually pay me to work on lacrosse coaching materials.
What do you like most about lacrosse?
The off-field camaraderie. You can spend 60 minutes beating on an opponent, then aferwards, it's like you've been best friends for life.
Do you have a favorite lacrosse player?
Chris Snyder. Google him...he's kind of a big deal.
What's your hometown?
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
What are three things you can't live without?
iPhone, flip-flops and my lacrosse stick.
What is your favorite food?
The really cheap, 79-cents-a-box mac and cheese. I don't even use milk to make the cheese; just straight water with that mystery powder.
What's your ideal Saturday?
Spending a day at the park with my daughter and acting like a 2-year old on the playground equipment.
What was your childhood dream job?
Fighter pilot. I grew up in the Top Gun generation.
