"Failure cannot cope with persistence." 

That is my favorite phrase, and it is how I strive to live. I have always tried to find my own limits and then see how far I can push beyond them. I believe anyone who has the courage to face adversity can accomplish more than they ever thought possible.

That mindset started in lacrosse. I grew up in Longmeadow, MA, and played goalie through grade school and into college, traveling the country to face some of the best shooters out there. Goalie is a humbling spot. You get scored on, you reset, and you show up for the next shot. It taught me that progress comes from staying in it, not from being perfect.

I carried that into school, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude from UMass Amherst with a degree in psychology and philosophy. Studying how people think, learn, and push through discomfort has shaped how I coach. I listen first, communicate clearly, and make an effort to ensure everyone I work with feels understood, supported, and

empowered.

Outside of CPC, I'm the Men's Lacrosse Goalie Coach at American International College, so I am still in the game, just from the other side now. Whether you are a college athlete or someone who just wants to move better than you ever thought you could, I want to help you get there.

Away from the gym, you'll find me walking in nature, reading, meditating, or spending time with friends and family. I am working on slowing down and appreciating the opportunities around me. If you see me on the floor, please say hello. I love meeting new people, having real conversations, and learning from other people's experiences.
