Charting the Path for College Recruiting
With more than 20 years of college coaching experience — and a lifetime of trusted relationships throughout the lacrosse community — I help student-athletes and families navigate recruiting with honest evaluation, clear strategy and personal advocacy. Together, we identify the colleges where each student-athlete can thrive academically, athletically and personally.

About
A Lifetime in the Game
I was born in Baltimore and had a lacrosse stick in my hands before I could walk.
As the son of a Hall of Fame assist man, my brothers, who played lacrosse at UVA and UNC, and I were raised as feeders and facilitators, taking pride in making our teammates better. That mindset has shaped how I have approached every role in life, both on the field and off it.
After a playing career at the Boys' Latin School and Notre Dame (shortened prematurely by back to back ACL tears), I lived and coached in San Diego and Australia and worked in New York City before moving to the Bay Area.
