Having grown up on Long Island, I understand the history of Molloy University and the men's soccer program and the connection that it has to the Long Island soccer community. I am excited to continue to instill the core values of integrating academic and athletic experiences successfully to this program. I am beyond thankful and am looking forward to this journey at Molloy University."
