He earned varsity letters all four years of high school, competing at Brooks School (ISL), Portsmouth Abbey - where he led the team in both goals and points - and Barnstable High School, where he finished his senior season with conference/regional honors. He was also selected to compete in the Bay State Games 1994-1996.
