Please share some of your favorite SJC memories - on and off the field:

I have a lot of fond memories looking back on my time at SJC. In terms of the basketball memories it would be battling through preseason workouts with my guys - a lot of early mornings and late nights together, winning playoff games at home during my sophomore and junior seasons - we had great crowds with a lot of energy and intensity, and finally being named captain for my senior season. Off the court I have a lot of great memories as well. First and foremost, living with a great group of guys throughout my four years. Living with four other teammates, one of our managers, and a couple other non-basketball athletes at SJC. Also, the relationships that were built with other athletes, teachers, and faculty - SJC always had a family atmosphere. Finally, when the weather was nice going down to the lake and being able to take advantage of that beach area was great.

Notable performances as an SJC athlete (records, championships, individual accolades):

My fondest individual accomplishments would probably be being named captain for my senior season and being one of the highest 3pt% shooters at SJC. A specific game to highlight would be hitting seven 3’s at home vs Albertus. Also, the All-Academic awards I received.

Where are you employed? Please tell us your job title, duties, how long you've been there, etc.:

I’m employed by the Boston Celtics but work for the Maine Red Claws as an assistant coach. This was my second season with the team. In terms of my duties I handled a lot of our offense, which meant leading offensive stations during practice, showing pre/post game edits on our offensive execution to our team, and then handling a lot of player development responsibilities.

Please tell us about your family, if applicable:

My immediate family consists of my two parents - Rob and Lynette and my sister Lynzie. They all have had a vital impact on the person I am today. Also, Coach Sanicola is someone I consider my family as well - I definitely wouldn’t be in the position I am today without all his help and guidance along the way.

What do you do for fun?

I’m a pretty low key person - but I like to hang out with friends - go golfing/bowling, during the summer I like to be on the water whether it’s the lake or ocean (preferably a lake), and finally just watching all types of sports / documentaries / movies.
