Cosentino serves as the Monks' men's lacrosse head coach, Academic Success Coordinator, and Director of the Monks' Leadership Academy, a program implemented in the spring of 2019 designed to assist in the development of leadership skills. The Leadership Academy aspires to instill leadership skills in SJC student-athletes by challenging and guiding them to analyze and then develop their own leadership traits. During the Fall semester he teaches an elective course, Principles of Coaching.

A dynamic leader, Cosentino began working as a Leadership Coach at Velocity Performance in Nashua in 2014 and has delivered Leadership and Professional Training to students at numerous higher education institutions, including Dartmouth College, Brown University, RPI, WPI, Trinity College and Bryant University.

Cosentino landed at Saint Joseph's after spending two (2014-15) seasons as the head coach at Daniel Webster College, where he guided the Eagles to a pair of New England Collegiate Conference Tournament appearances. The 2015 NECC Coach of the Year recipient led Daniel Webster to seven victories - tied for most in program history at the time - and boasted the largest men's lacrosse roster in team history during the 2016 campaign.

Prior to his stint at Daniel Webster, Cosentino served as an assistant coach and defensive coordinator at Keene State College. In two and a half years in Keene, he helped lead the Owls to a 24-10 overall record with a Little East Conference Championship – and subsequent NCAA Tournament berth – in 2014.

Previously, Cosentino served as the head coach of the boy’s lacrosse program at Merrimack High School and guided the program to its first winning season (10-6) in nearly 10 years. He also worked as a varsity assistant at Concord High School for four years and helped the team make a pair of NHIAA Final Four appearances.

Cosentino was also the founder of New England Elite Lacrosse, a Nashua, NH based club program that originated in 2010. In January of 2016, NE Elite merged with 4 Leaf Lacrosse New England. Coach Cosentino served as High School Program Director and coach during his time with 4 Leaf. In 2018 Coach Cosentino joined the 207Lacrosse program out of Portland, ME, but in August 2019 he went back to 4 Leaf Lacrosse as they merged with another program here in Maine.

Cosentino was a four-year starting defender for Plymouth State and went on to play two years for the Bay State Lacrosse Club, a member of the American Lacrosse League, before organizing the Warpigs Lacrosse Club in 2007.

Coach Cosentino graduated Cum Laude from Plymouth State University in 2005 with a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Studies and earned his Master's in Teaching/Social Studies from Rivier University in 2011. In December of 2021 he earned his Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Interdisciplinary Studies focusing on Leadership. He taught at either the elementary or middle school levels for over 10 years before accepting the head coaching position at Daniel Webster.
