I am proud of what we've accomplished as a club for the past two years. But there's more work to do. I have two agendas: make youth lacrosse an option for all kids regardless of their background and support MHS as a powerhouse program. We've made smart choices and kept costs down for parents. With the endowment we started, free lacrosse for every boy and girl in Medina is an attainable goal. Our initiatives in 1st/2nd grade and Fall Intro have doubled in size. And our Meaningful Minutes policy is producing experienced players. But I won't be satisfied (board or no) until we are able to hand MHS a roster of 30 freshman who can handle a stick. Honor, Effort, Resilience.

I am proud to have been involved with Medina Lacrosse for over four years as a volunteer, assistant coach, and committee chairman for the Baggataway Tournament. My sons, Joseph and Alan, have been playing in Medina since grade school and are now in 7th and 9th grade. We are all looking forward to my daughter, Magggie, starting her lacrosse career with the 3/4 girls this season. Our family has come to truly love the sport, and I’d like to do everything I can to support and advance the game within our community.
