About Our Coaches
I grew up playing baseball and football and I didn’t start playing lacrosse until Sophmore year of high school. After playing lacrosse for the first time, I fell in love. Eventually I received a small scholarship to attend and play Reinhardt University in Waleska, Ga. To sum up my playing career, I ended up being 1x SELC champion, 4x AAC champion, 2x National All tournament team, 2x team captain, 3x National Champion, and First team All American in 2019.
After graduating I have worked with a couple very successful seasons with club teams in Metro Atlanta such as; Kings Elite and Thunder Lacrosse. As far as high school bal goes, I served four years as JV head coach at a very successful Lassiter high school program. Planning on being thw 2024 Defensive Coordinator for Reinhardt University while obtaining my MBA. I love the game and love the gift I was blessed with to spread knowledge with the next generations!
