I grew up in Massachusetts, and sports have always been a part of my life. I played up until the end of high school, then joined that world from a new side when I became a manager for the hockey team at my university. After working in the toy design industry for a year, I knew I wanted to get back into athletics, so I became a student at the University of Oregon studying Sports Product Management. This experience has been nothing but great so far, and I can't wait to see where it takes me.
