Class of '30

Sport: Hockey


David was incredibly helpful in helping me get into school. I worked with him over the course of several years, across multiple states, and at different stages of my journey toward college. Whether we were meeting in person or I was halfway across the country, he was always there to guide me. No matter the circumstances, he was incredibly dedicated to helping me achieve my goal of attending Brown.


One of David's greatest strengths is his ability to build genuine relationships and connections. I was constantly amazed by how many people he knew and how respected he was in so many different places. Whether we were talking in person or over the phone, we could spend hours discussing anything and everything. What stood out most was his ability to connect with every student, regardless of their sport, academic background, where they came from, or where they hoped to go. Because of that, I developed complete trust in him. That level of trust is difficult to find, and it made all the difference throughout the process. David was always checking in, making sure I stayed on track, and whenever something wasn't in place, he went above and beyond to help me get it done.


When it came time for me to apply to Brown, David walked me through every step of the process. He made sure all of my paperwork, recommendations, and application materials were completed correctly and submitted where they needed to be, regardless of how tight the timeline was. Since I had been out of school for a couple of years, navigating the admissions process felt overwhelming at times. David made it manageable. He consistently went the extra mile to support me, answer my questions, and keep me moving forward. I truly believe his guidance and commitment played a major role in helping me earn my acceptance to Brown.
