So, Coach, tell everybody what you're up to now, what your new job is, and then we'll kind of get into your past from when you were a kid.
40:41
Oh, my gosh.
40:41
Yeah.
40:42
So obviously got named the head coach here at Brown.
40:44
And I got named in February, which was a little bit unusual because I was coaching at UMass in Amherst as an assistant coach.
40:51
And I got announced as the head coach here before either of the two school seasons ended.
40:57
I think it was February, middle of February.

Because then you went to a bunch, you played some D3, right? Where'd you go from there?
4:14
How are you going to beat Harvard, Dartmouth, and Yale in your backyard for players?
4:18
You know what? I just think it's up to me and our program to sell ourselves and what our strengths are.
4:24
Right.
4:24
You know, that's that's recruiting for me.
4:27
I think everywhere I've been and this is where I feel I've been very fortunate my 16 years, you know, starting in Division three and spending time at a very small Division one school at Mercyhurst.
4:36
I've been at places where, you know, you might not have all the resources and all the glitz and glamour, but you got to really learn to sell yourself and sell your vision and your culture and the things that you believe in.
4:46
And that's what I think will separate us.
7:24
You got to win games.
