Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My father is my role model and I want to do this for him. My goal is to grow the sports of hockey and lacrosse. I want to be the next big brand. Lacrosse has given me every opportunity, it helped me get out of my bad neighborhood and into a prep school, I played for team USA for 3 years. It helped me get into college. Lacrosse has helped me in so many ways and it’s time for me to give back and help grow the game to new heights and help these upcoming athletes.

How do you stay motivated?

I see the struggles my family has when we don’t have enough money for food, and when my father and older brother don’t eat it makes me upset and motivated that I want to strive for a better life but I know it’s going to take time and I’m willing to work for it.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000, I’d invest in redesigning our website, place another order of Power Sleeves, hire a marketing team, launch our merch line, and donate more to Lacrossing Barriers, a charity we support in Canada.
