mad Dog box

The fast-paced, small-area environment of box lacrosse demands quick decisions, elite stick skills, creativity, and toughness, giving players more touches, sharper hands, better vision, improved defensive IQ, and greater confidence — all of which directly translate into smarter, faster, more skilled field players.

NJ Shore 2028 Black & 2034/35 Coach for Mad Dog Lacrosse
Hometown: Asbury Park, NJ

Home Base: Mad Dog NJ Shore Boys

Quote –

I’m excited to continue serving as Youth Director for the Shore Program and coaching our 2034/2035 and 2028 teams. This role gives me the incredible opportunity to work closely with many of our Shore players throughout the year. As both an educator and a coach, my passion lies in empowering and developing students and athletes to become the best versions of themselves.

Mad Dog’s strong commitment to player development fosters dedication, resilience, and a strong work ethic—qualities that transcend athletics and positively shape our players’ lives. The sense of community among coaches, players, and parents truly makes this program feel like a family.

I’m grateful to be part of this supportive environment, where I can make a meaningful impact and continue to grow as a coach.

“I am honored and incredibly fortunate to serve as the Director of Mad Dog Valley Dogs. I’m excited to work alongside Bobby Blethem and Eliud Evans under the Los Angeles umbrella.

 

As a former Mad Dog camper, player, and now coach, I strive to carry forward the original Mad Dog message—’Play like a Mad Dog is chasing you’—into a growing lacrosse hotbed like The Valley. My journey with Mad Dog began at the very first camp, took me to National teams, and ultimately led me to coaching in 2018.

The game has given me so much, and I can’t wait to give back, helping to grow and develop this area alongside the Mad Dog leadership. This opportunity is both an honor and a true passion of mine.”
