My Story
High School Fencing Career at Randolph High School
I began fencing as a freshman in high school and instantly loved it. I initially thought I would fence foil, but instead picked up an epee and never looked back. I fenced 8 varsity matches that year that would prepare me for my next three years on the varsity team. I had a very successful career at Randolph. While I spent my sophomore season learning as much as I could, the results came during my junior and senior years. As a junior, I would place 4th in the District Tournament, a qualifier that would send me to the Men's Epee Individual Tournament, comprised of the top 20 epee fencers in New Jersey. My senior year I earned my captaincy, and had an incredible season, with a record of 19 wins and 1 loss in conference. In addition, my squad placed third at the District Tournament, qualifying for the Men's Epee Squad State Tournament. I also earned first-member, first-team all conference alongside team MVP that season.

Where I Am Today
I am currently in the Honors Program pursuing a History and Secondary Education Degree at Ramapo College of New Jersey. I continued my athletic career there as a member of the school's Division III soccer team. I still have a love for fencing and actively participate in competition.
I also donate my time to helping fencers on the current Randolph High School Fencing Team as well as young fencers getting introduced to the sport at the Randolph Recreational Fencing Camp in the Summer.
Alongside my volunteerism, I am a professional youth sports coach with experience teaching a variety of sports at USA Sports Group, an epee and foil coach at Forte Fencing Club, an epee coach at PCTI, and a youth soccer coach at Stateline SC.
