What have you been up to since graduating from Monmouth?
I live in Marlton, NJ with my wife Colleen – a Monmouth & women's lacrosse alum – and our three children: Maeve 6, Declan 4, & Kellan 3. Since graduating from Monmouth, I have worked in the energy industry, primarily in sales & business development roles. Through a series of a few acquisitions I have been fortunate to have worked at three different companies thus far.
 
What is your fondest memory at Monmouth?
From a soccer perspective, it was winning the 2005 NEC Regular Season. That felt like a culmination of something we had been building towards for at least two years. From where we were, to getting to that point was a massive achievement. It was made even better because it was such a great group of guys. I also like to think it created a good foundation for what the program would achieve moving forward.
 
If you could give advice to a current Monmouth player, what would it be?
It's a privilege to be a Division I athlete and to be a part of this program - you should treat it as such. It's an incredible opportunity with so many resources available to you, be sure to take advantage of them all to the fullest extent. Commit yourself to getting the most of your time here: athletically, academically, and yes, socially as well.
 
How did your time at Monmouth prepare you for life after graduation?
My time at Monmouth was instrumental in preparing me for life after graduation. There are the obvious ones like time management, discipline, teamwork, etc. However, it went well beyond that. The experience forced me to mature and understand what it takes in terms of commitment – on the field & in the classroom - to reach your full potential. I would not be who I am today without my time at Monmouth.
 
Between your former teammates and coaches, who has had the most impact on your life?
I would be remiss If I did not mention Coach Shannon Poser. He & his staff first gave me the opportunity to be part of the Monmouth soccer program and for that I will be forever grateful. As far as Coach McCourt, I am fortunate that I am able to call him a friend. He taught me so much about creating the right culture, accountability, and building relationships – all things that I carry with me to this day both in my personal and professional life. He is a good man. Outside of my family, some of my teammates/friends from Monmouth are among the most important people in my life. Not only for our experiences in school, but going through all things that life has to offer – good & bad – following graduation. They know who they are and they have been by my side throughout it all. I could never put my appreciation into words.
