Personality Profile

• Hometown: Marblehead
• Age: 18
• College you will be attending: I am planning to do a Post Graduate year. I have been accepted to several prep schools and am currently in the process of making my decision on which to attend.
• What is your favorite book?: "The Road", by Cormac McCarthy
• What is your favorite movie?: "Apocalypto"
• Who is your favorite singer or musical group?: From Johnny Cash to Bob Dylan, I like many singers. But, my go-to guy right now is Drake
• What is your favorite website?: Definitely ebay.com. You can find some sweet deals on that site.
• What is your favorite class in school?: AP Government with Ms. Humphrey. There is a lot of discussion, sometimes heated debates about current issues and I am learning so many new things about our government. I find it fascinating and entertaining.
• What athletic feat are you most proud of and why?: I am most proud of the hook and ladder play we pulled off in our win over the Danvers football team this past fall. There was no time left on the clock and a loss would have ended our playoff chances. It was a great lesson in playing until the final whistle and to never give up. I now know that in sports anything can happen. Marblehead is trying to install a new turf field for next season and if we are successful that will be the last football play ever played on the old grass.
• Who has had the biggest influence in your life and why?: Besides my parents, Coach Mike Giardi has had a huge influence on my life and approach to sports. As the Offensive Coordinator and QB Coach, we have spent a lot of time together during the last three years. He has served as a mentor to me on the football field but has also become a good friend. I was inspired by his story about how he became a Hall of Fame quarterback for Harvard particularly how he won the job. It's a great example of perseverance. I have learned in sports that sometimes things do not go as planned; but if I keep showing up, trying my best and getting back in there with a positive attitude, things are bound to improve. Although I may have learned these lessons on the football field, they are truly life lessons. For that, I thank Coach Giardi.
• Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?: After graduating college and earning my MBA, I plan to start my own business. I haven't thought it through all the way, but I would love to be successful enough so I had time to coach youth players in football, hockey and lacrosse. There were a lot of coaches who helped me through the years and I appreciate all the time and effort. so I would like to give back.
