Why you are interested in seeking a position on the Shakopee Youth Lacrosse Board?

I would like to join the Shakopee Lacrosse Board because my son has been playing for the last 3 years and it has been an absolute joy watching and learning a game we knew nothing about. I would like to continue to help grow the game of lacrosse in Shakopee, help expand the Association and give the kids an opportunity to play this great sport.

Why you are interested in seeking a position on the Shakopee Youth Lacrosse Board?

I would like to continue my time on the board for one more term. I love lacrosse and making as many kids as possible get the opportunity to play. I have been a member of the board for several years. My two older boys have been through the program and are now coaches for our youth teams. My daughter has been playing since the age of 5. I have also started officiating on the boys side of things as well as coaching girls. I have coached lacrosse at every youth level and have enjoyed coaching girls this season. I will continue contributing my time and experience over the next two years if re-elected to the board.

Why you are interested in seeking a position on the Shakopee Youth Lacrosse Board?

I was introduced to Lacrosse last year when my son Brady decided to try it out. At that time, I did not know anything about the sport. It didn't take long for myself and our family to catch on to the game and love it! Fast forward to this year, I now have 3 kids in lacrosse; Lucy will be going into girls 12U, Brady will be boys 10U and Blake will be boys 8U. This past season I helped coach the boys 8U red team. My wife, Vanessa, is on the hockey board and I feel like this can be a good opportunity to bounce ideas off each other to to implement what works well and what does not. I am also born and raised in Shakopee so I have a strong connection to the community and am very invested in the future of not only our youth sports but the community as a whole.
