My love of lacrosse began 42 years ago growing up in Long Island when a friend brought his older brother's lacrosse sticks to play with at recess. I've played regularly my whole life, and I was fortunate to move to Atlanta in the early 90s at a time when lacrosse was just starting to be played here.

As a law student, I was able to play all over the Southeast with the MCLA-level Emory University team.   I played in various adult leagues for many years.

Now as a parent, I've coached more than 9 seasons at the youth level.  I obtained my first US Lacrosse coaching certification years ago, and am constantly working on adding new certifications and learning new coaching methods attending lectures and clinics with my fellow Wheeler Junior coaches. My young players will tell you my favorite part of lacrosse is defense, and that ground balls are the most important statistic!
