Where did you grow up and when did you start playing lacrosse? I grew up in Arlington. I started playing lacrosse when I was 11, overlapping with what would soon be the end of my baseball career.   What were your other sports and can you talk about how other sports have helped your lacrosse game? My whole life I’ve played hockey. It was the sport I first fell in love with and have enjoyed since I was a kid. I think I get a lot of my toughness and grit in lacrosse from the way I played hockey in the years before I picked up a lax stick.   How many family members do you have, and are athletics important in your family? I have 4 family members- my mom, dad
