If you played lacrosse, when and how were you first introduced to the game?
Started playing when I was a sophomore in high school in upstate N.Y. I actually broke my arm in my first game ever! I have been hooked ever since.

What do you like most about lacrosse?
The "community" aspect of it. If you have ever been involved with lacrosse you are in the "community" where everyone has that common bond of lacrosse and appreciation for the sport and what it has done for them.

Are you currently involved with the game outside of work? If so, how?
I officiate all levels of the men’s game- post-collegiate, college, high school and youth. I love getting out on the field and working a game no matter what level.

What’s your hometown?
Queensbury, N.Y.

What’s your ideal Saturday?
Referee a lacrosse game in the morning then get home to hang out with friends, watch some sports and cook up some great food on the BBQ!

Where in the world would you like to take a two-week-long, all-expense-paid vacation?
Bora Bora.
