About Me
I grew up in Wellesley, MA, playing basketball. It was my sport, my focus—until sophomore year, when I picked up a lacrosse stick for the first time. I had no clue what I was doing, but I was hooked instantly. I didn’t have to be the tallest guy on the field to make an impact. Lacrosse was about skill, creativity, and having the right feel in your hands.
One day, out of curiosity, I messed with my pocket, not realizing how much a few small changes could throw everything off. The next day at practice, my passes went straight into the ground. That was the moment I realized how much a pocket truly matters.
For a new player, the last thing you need is an inconsistent pocket making the game harder. A stick should feel like an extension of you—not something you’re constantly adjusting or fighting against.
As I got deeper into stringing, I started to understand the origins of lacrosse. This game is more than a sport—it’s a tradition passed down by Native American communities, where the stick is sacred. It was never just about goals or wins—it was a connection to something greater. That’s why every pocket I string is personal. It’s about performance, but it’s also about respecting the roots of the game.
Now, as a freshman on the Roger Williams lacrosse team, I’m still learning and growing as a player, but one thing hasn’t changed—my passion for stringing. Every player deserves a pocket that fits their game. That’s why I started Pockets by Palli—to make sure you have the right setup to play with confidence while honoring the history behind the game.
Let’s string something personal.
