NCSA Recruiting
I am from Carthage, New York. After graduating high school I served 5 years in the U.S. Army as a Military Police Officer. I deployed once to Kandahar, Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. After my contract was up I decided to attend SUNY Jefferson where I earned my Associates Degree.
I worked for a minor professional hockey team in Watertown, NY where I found my true passion for sports. I learned about marketing, sponsorship, sales, customer service and more. We went on to win the Commissioner’s Cup in the 2017-2018 season.
While working for the hockey team in 2018, I met the love of my life, Alexis. Fast forward to 2022, we were married in February and welcomed our daughter, Oaklynn to the world in September.
The main reason why I was interested in joining the NCSA team was because I was in the automotive industry where I was not truly happy. I want to teach my daughter to follow her dreams and persevere if she has a passion. I want to set an example for her and show her that with a positive attitude and a strong work ethic, anything is possible.
I am so excited to be working for NCSA for many reasons, but mostly because I want to be a piece of the puzzle to help young student athletes find the right fit. College recruiting can be one of the most stressful times in a student athletes life. If I can be the reason a student athletes goes to school and is successful in sports or in life in general, I can say I made a positive impact on them.
