Personal Statement

I am a 6'4" small forward from Cumberland, Maine. I have played for the varsity team at Greely High School for three years. I am always one of the first players to get to the gym and I seek any opportunity possible to improve my game. I have a 3.8 GPA and 1380 SAT score (1400 when "superscored").

I do not have a specific preference geographically where I go to school as long as I feel it is the right fit for me both academically and athletically. I would be most interested in a school with strong science or medical programs. Ideally, I am searching for a program where I can have an impact on the team immediately no matter what my designated role is. I believe my best fit wold be at the DIII level. Financial assistance is going to be very important to me in the college selection process as my family will have high need.
