My athletic accomplishments include:
-Two sport varsity starter in Lacrosse (Defense) and Football (Defensive End and Offensive Left Tackle)
-Awarded the Raschdorf Trophy (for Excellence in Lacrosse) 2016, awarded to the top lacrosse player on Hopewell Valley lacrosse.

-TriState Lacrosse (2019-2021), Turnpike Lacrosse (through 2018-2019)
- I was disappointed that my Sophomore lacrosse season and most of my summer lacrosse season was cancelled due to Covid-19. I made the best of working out at home, working on speed and agility, and playing as much lacrosse as possible. I also spent a lot of time improving my lefty skills.
These are some of my other activities:
-Work 12 hours a week as a food runner at a restaurant in Newtown, PA
-Train with speed and agility coach two nights a week.
-Assisted coaching youth lacrosse teams for Hopewell Township and Lawrenceville, NJ.
-Volunteer for Project Homefront, which is a charity that helps poor families in Trenton, and Mini-THON which is a Cancer charity.
-The Pennington School Ski Club, Spanish Club, and Bicycle Club.
-Wakeboarding and skimboarding.
I appreciate your interest in me as a potential candidate for your program.
