I’m from Pittsburgh. I didn’t play growing up, but my brother played in high school and college. My daughters Juliette and Pippa love the sport. I first picked up a girls stick as they started playing - and haven’t put it down. My favorite lacrosse play is our 14U girls “Applesauce.” You’ll have to come play with us to learn more! The sport has been awesome for my daughters. They have learned teamwork, the value of hard work, and have built resilience and character on the field. Words of wisdom? Be kind!

I started playing Lacrosse in junior high in Dix Hills, NY, and was a defensive player at Half Hollow Hills High School on Long Island. I continued playing in college at Alfred University, school of art and design in western NY. I played some club Lacrosse during graduate school in Missoula, Montana, and again in Santa Fe in the late 90s. My favorite move or moves in lacrosse is watching a defensive player use their feet to turn back an attacking player. In 2012, I talked with Sid Monroe about coaching with SFLAX and have enjoyed watching the growth of players as well as the program over the years. Words of wisdom? Always be a respectful competitor.

I grew up in Westchester, NY and my mom organized our recreational youth league for lacrosse. Although football was my personal passion, I always played lacrosse in the spring and on some amazing teams, narrowly losing our hyper competitive section championship to Yorktown (perennial powerhouse) my senior year. My love of the game only increased when my brother was recruited to UVA to play and eventually was the captain for their 2003 championship team! I played club lacrosse at UNC and then put my stick down for a decade as I pursued my career in family medicine. I met my amazing wife Lauren in Rochester, NY where we went to grad school, then we lived in Tacoma, Washington for my medical residency before moving to Santa Fe in 2015. We have two awesome kids - Sam (9) and Lilly (6) - who are budding laxers. I have been involved as an assistant coach for the Wolverines and youth boys since 2023 and have been so inspired by Mark and the rest of the wonderful organization here and am so proud to be able to share my love of the sport with you all.
