Hobbies
I spend a fair amount of my free time, coaching lacrosse year round. Over the past decade I have coached kids as young as 7 years old, all the way up to grad students in college. I enjoy the competition and the game itself, but what I really enjoy is helping young men grow, develop and excel as athletes and as people.
