Leadership-Achievement-Family-Transition- Honor- Graduation Class of 2020

- I'm a Senior at Connetquot High School (All Division Player- Division 1 RB/LB) with a confirmed unweighted 3.9 GPA Principal List (4th pinned/lettered Scholar Athlete in Track, Football & Lacrosse). I have taken college classes for the past three years Sophomore, Junior & Senior years with 4.0 in every class total 27 credits along with my high school honors classes. My position(s) are running back/ full back/ strong safety.  I work out with speed & strength trainers at Revolution Athletics.  The team always comes first. We work together, help each other on and off the field. This sport is not meant to be played by one person, but rather played by the whole team.   We are a family and work as one unit to accomplish the goals we all have.  We played against some very impressive teams, but we always came together to win. Stay true to yourself and your team.

 - Special thanks to my High School, Middle School and most of all the CYFO Coaches for your help, guidance and your personal time dedicated to this sport.  Also, Mr. McHale spent his time on the weekends to correct mistakes I would make on the field.  I would not be here without your help.  Each coach I have met has opened up doors for me and I will not forget.  We are a family.

-  I wish to thank Coach Wallace of NCSA with the help and guidance.  Along with every college coach that I worked with the past two years during late winter, spring and in the heat of mid summer on the field.  From your advice, I learned how to improve my ball skills along with preparing for the next level.  Truly the final decision was where I would help the team the best way I can.  I have seen excellent Colleges/University football programs.  The upper level coaches taught me a lot thru the process.  I wish to thank you for your dedication to the sport.

-  I decided on my major Finance with a minor in Business Analytics/Economics. Yesterday, I spoke with the Dean of John Welch College of Business along with Sean Heffron Director of the Student Experience. Also, many of the current SHU student business majors were there to answer any of our questions. Enrolled into Sacred Heart University, John F. Welch College of Business for the Class of 2020. My final decision was based upon the classroom technology that the school of business has in order to expand and prepare me for the future in Finance.
