I played TE/HB for my sophomore season, and I have fully converted to OL for my junior season.

I didn't start playing football until high school. My brother's and I played lacrosse, ran cross country, and were on the ski racing team at      7Springs Resort, leading up to high school.

My brother Owen is a senior at Middlebury College, playing lacrosse and football, he played in the Big33 game for PA. My brother Miles is a sophomore at Loyola University Maryland, playing  D1 lacrosse in the Patriot League.

My father played OL at Notre Dame for Coach Joe Moore (1989-1993).
