About

Born and raised in the lacrosse hotbed of Long Island—where stick skills are developed before you can walk—Coach cut his teeth in the sport at a young age. He went on to play four transformative years of Division III lacrosse at a small liberal arts college you've definitely never heard of, where he majored in Communications and minored in riding the bench with unmatched dedication. His collegiate career highlight remains a single assist in a blowout loss his senior year, a moment he describes as "the pinnacle of athletic achievement and also proof I deserved more playing time."

After college, Coach briefly flirted with the idea of coaching before realizing that yelling at teenagers wasn't as cathartic as he'd hoped. Instead, he pivoted to what he does best: standing on the sidelines, taking notes, and providing color commentary that nobody asked for.

NC Fusion Men's League Recap: Week 5

Alright sit down, shut up, and listen — because Week 5 had everything. Chirping during warmups. A goalie falling into his own net on camera. A fourth quarter collapse so predictable you could set your watch to it. And oh yeah, apparently the PLL G-League has been making phone calls.

NC Fusion Men's League Recap: Week 3

The Titans move to 3-0 and their goalie wants you to know it's actually twelve straight. The Storm took their first L. The Grinders lost by one goal — again — and honestly it's getting hard to watch. Duncan Glover broke a man's spirit and then flexed about it. Sticks were snapping like twigs out there. And one kid played goalie for two teams in one night because apparently nobody else wanted the job. Your MVPs? The goalies. All of them. Full recap inside.

NC Fusion Men's League Recap: Week 2

Turns out more people are available when you play on the day of rest. Who knew? Maybe Saturday conflicts with "family obligations" or "being a functional adult," but Sunday? Sunday is for the boys—and apparently for watching a construction crew descend on the turf like they just clocked out of a double shift. The Hi-Viz jersey count was through the roof this week. Either the entire local trades industry gets Sundays off, or OSHA is now requiring lacrosse as mandatory team-building. Either way, you love to see it.
