>> Yeah, I went to the University of Virginia.
And I graduated with a degree of sociology.
I played 3 years of lacrosse there.
I was an all American 2 out of the 3 years.
My senior year, I hurt my back, sat out.
And I got into graduate school for the high school at Syracuse.
So I went there.
Played 1 year of lacrosse there.
Was an all American there.
And graduated in 2007 with a graduate's degree in information management.
In ordered to get my degree, I needed to do an internship.
So I applied to MTV and got there internship there.
And did really well.
The people there seemed to like me.
And I finished my internship and literally refused to leave until they gave me a job.
I stayed on for about a month and a half longer than I had to until somebody
in the office was like, okay, fine, you can work for us.
So it worked out.
And I was there for another 6 to 8 months until I left to start my own company.
Me and my 2 other friends, you know, we were discussing the idea.
Came up with Home Field.
You know, sort of to suit our own needs, to scratch our own itch.
And it's, that's part of the reason why we're, you know, I'm so passionate about it.
Is because it's definitely something that I would have used if I was in school.
And I actually am going to use this summer because I'm playing lacrosse for the MLL.
Totally came out of the blue.
I didn't talk to anybody.
I put my name in last year for the draft, but I couldn't do it because of work.
And I was sitting on my computer and I got an e-mail
that said Joey Willy [phonetic] was drafted by the Denver Outlaws.
And I was like, what the hell is this?
I had no idea this was going to happen.
And then not a second later after I saw that e-mail, I got a call from the general manager.
And he was like, you know, we're really excited.
We'd like you to come out.
Are you looking to play?
And I was like absolutely.
You know, it's been way too long since I've played.
So I'm in pretty good shape.
I ran the marathon this year, so I'm really looking forward to it.
It's going to be really cool.
