Who is your favorite athlete?

The hardest worker on the team.

What's one thing you can't live without?
My family. I luckily get to spend a good deal of time at home and truly cannot live without my family.

Where did you go on your last vacation?
Vacation? What's that? With four young kids, sleep is a vacation and even that is rare.

What's one thing lacrosse really needs?
I really do not think that lacrosse needs anything. It is already an awesome sport, with great people playing it. What more do you need? As far a popularity of the sport goes...it's growing faster than any other. It really is the best sport out there, and people are really starting to recognize that.
