PITT-JOHNSTOWN LACROSSE CLUB

I thought I knew which sport I was going to play in college, way before I even

enrolled at Pitt-Johnstown. I was a baseball player for 18 years , and wanted to

continue playing at UPJ. After a few weeks, I knew that it was going to be hard

to accomplish all the extra curricular activities that I wanted to be a part of if I

continued playing baseball so I hung up the baseball cleats, and traded them in for

lacrosse cleats. While being on the team for 4 years, I held every position on the

club’s executive board as well as being named captain during my junior and senior

seasons.

Greatest Moment as President:“The greatest moment that I experienced while President of the Pitt-Johnstown Laxcats was when we received a bid for the Conference Tournament. It was the first time we received a bid, and showed that our hard work and dedication on and off the field made us one of the more respectable organizations in the NCLL.”

“Matt is never satisfied with the status quo. Originally getting to know Matt as a member of my husband’s American legion Baseball team, I first witnessed his efforts as a team player in an extraordinary run for the PA Regional League Championship; and, expectations were later solidified in his efforts as an intern helping to raise thousands of dollars for us at the Foundation. This is an extraordinary young man who wants to work for your company – don’t miss the opportunity to engage this “up and comer” as a vital member of your team.”

It all started with an email. I knew the one internship that I wanted to complete in

college, even way back in high school. While attending Westmont Hilltop, I

sent an email to Under Armour CEO, Kevin Plank, and expressed my interest

in joining the Under Armour team while completing my degree. I sent

out applications each year, but to no avail. Before my senior year started, I

knew that this was my final shot to land an internship in the Under Armour

Summer League Program and I gave it my all. I ended up creating a

complete Social Media campaign for the sole purpose of getting hired

at Under Armour. I used various social platforms and after multiple

interviews, I received an offer letter that I had wanted for 5 years! The Under Armour

Summer League was an amazing experience all around. I got to work with a multi billion-

dollar brand and it was a tremendous learning experience. My main focus was working

with the footwear department and develop a plan on how to enter the social space and

start garnering much needed footwear brand awareness. At the end of the summer,

I gave a presentation to 35 members of the Under Armour team and saw my

recommendations being implemented across the board.

In order for you to graduate from Westmont Hilltop High School, you are required to complete a senior project. Your senior project has to benefit the community, the school district or some other act of service. A lot of my classmates decided to take an easy route and simply collect money at lunch for various charities, organize a fan section for a sporting event or something similar. I chose to go a different route.

My senior project idea came from myself being a big supporter of all the athletic teams at Westmont. I created, and designed a clothing line for Westmont students and supporters. What was unqiue about this “Blackout Gear” clothing line was that we always had Blackout Student Sections for the various sporting events, but since our school’s colors were red and grey, we never had anything black that said Westmont on it.

I created this senior project with hopes to raise $500 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, as my cousin actually had her wish granted by Make-A-Wish a few years back. I ended up exceding my initial expectations and in turn created the largest senior project in Westmont’s history. I ended up selling over $12,000 worth of clothing to the students at my school of 500 students, and ended up donating 100% of the profits to the Make-A-Wish Founda-tion. ($3,853)

This project involved a lot of marketing and creative skills which led me to declaring as a business marketing student at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown.

Throughout high school I played baseball, basketball and was a member of the golf team. I was a four-year letterwinner on my high school’s base-ball team, playing in every varsity game during my career. Baseball was my sport of choice growing up, and I continued to play until I was 21 in the AAABA League in Johnstown. During my last season, I was the only player in the wooden bat league to play all 9 positions on the field.
