My first experience with Faceoff Factory was as a 16 year old player during their first Denver Development Day. There, I met my now mentor, friend, and coworker, Joe Nardella which paved the way for my collegiate career. I am now proud to be a Faceoff Factory Coach and have had the honor to run 15 clinics and work with over 300 middle and high school athletes.

During my final year at Marquette I was able to work with the biomechanics equipment in the Marquette Athletic and Human Performance Lab. This allowed me to get the first ever data showing the difference between techniques which allowed the development of a unique style of faceoff. I spent time with Versa Lacrosse Academy teaching youth players about it.

I was lucky enough to meet Coaches Andrew Stimmel and Jake Richard through Joe Nardella after my second season at Colorado Mesa. I played two seasons for Marquette before graduating in 2023. Watch my Marquette Highlight Tape here.

I started my collegiate lacrosse career at Colorado Mesa as a preffered walk on with no scholarship. I recieved the Freshman Male Athlete of the Year award in 2020 and finished my season as the 3rd ranked faceoff player in the country. Colorado Mesa Highlights.

I was not good at lacrosse in High School. I only played one year on the Varsity team and performed at an aggressively average level. Video of my 10 good plays edited to make it look casual.
