Before playing for Boston College he was in the USA Hockey National Team Development Program.

"[19] Scout Jess Rubenstein rated him as the Rangers' best defeneman prospect entering the 2024-25 season and said "I like his size and on-ice vision.
Right away as a freshman, he showed that he could handle playing against the other team's top players...He's very good at breaking pucks out.
I think that was probably his one of his top strengths...He had no fear in finding the middle if that was the right play, and he could execute on a high level.
