I played for the University of Delaware Club Men’s Volleyball team. I do not have personal accolades from that experience, but our team won the D1-AA National Club championship in 2017. This was the first national title for our club program. I will try to answer the rest to the best of my ability!
Biography: I am a graduate of the University of Delaware with a Bachelors’s in Mechanical Engineering. I first became involved with volleyball by attending games as a kid and sitting with my uncle on the bench while he coached at North Penn High School. He was a strong influence on my volleyball journey, and would not have discovered my passion for volleyball if I did not have that experience. I became fascinated by the sport and went on to play for North Penn High School. I also played for Panther Volleyball and Club Lehigh in a competitive club setting. Through my various experiences, I have learned and played every position on the floor, although most of my experience is as an Outside Hitter and Opposite Hitter. Sports have been an extremely important part of my life, and I strongly feel there are many essential life lessons and skills that can be learned and sharpened. If there is anything else you would like to know about me, feel free to ask!
