Board of Directors

Wade began his role as RGLAX Board President in June 2024, and has been an active board member since Fall 2023. His family was introduced to the sport of lacrosse when his daughter began playing during her 5th grade school year. Wade's daughter currently plays for the program's Varsity team. He understand the importance of providing opportunities for youth to grow and succeed as a lifelong educator. Wade also values providing families with the resources to further understand the game of lacrosse.

Susanne is currently the Vice President for Rockwall Girls Lacrosse. She has served on the board in previous seasons as Field Manager and (temporary) treasurer. Her daughter, who are now seniors, have been a part of the RGLAX club since they moved to Rockwall in 2019. The program is a big part of what drew them to this specific area of DFW. Susanne aims to give back to the sport and program that has offered so much opportunity to her own daughters, and pay it forward for the future generations of our league.

Jessica is currently our Coach Liason. She has served on the board since 2018, previously in the position of Secretary. She joined RGLAX when her oldest daughter began playing in 3rd grade. As a long time public school teacher, Jessica believes deeply in the importance of developing programs that engage communities and families in helping develop strong and confident youth. Her goal is that Rockwall Girls Lacrosse continues to grow and serve that function for the young ladies in Rockwall County.

John joined the board as Treasurer in the Fall of 2023. With a solid background as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), he is dedicated to ensuring the financial health and transparency of the organization. His youngest daughter began playing as a Kindergartner after being introduced to the sport during an elementary school demonstration. Both of his daughters are currently playing for Rockwall Girls Lacrosse.

Grew up playing HS lax in centra NY and went to college in NY. My college lax team never won any games and I started teaching lacrosse to my college teammates and four years later when I was a senior and captain this team would qualify for the NCAA playoffs for first time in college history. In 1972, I was voted a college all-American in lacrosse and I was voted into my college’s sports hall of fame (lacrosse) in 2010.

Started teaching lax with the boys lax program in Rockwall in 2010 and retired after hiring Michael Fay as boys head coach in 2013. Michael remains the Rockwall boys head coach.

A number of Rockwall HS girls asked me help them form a team and coach them in 2014. This was the founding of girls lacrosse in Rockwall. The team dissolved in 2016 when all the players graduated and realized a comprehensive K-12 training program would be needed if lacrosse was to succeed in Rockwall. A board of directors of interested parents was formed and I began training players and parents who wished to be coaches. These 3/4 and 5/6 players five years later would be the nucleus of our first Rockwall girls team to ever play for a varsity State championship in lacrosse. We now regularly compete in major tournaments and for the state playoffs as well as graduate players on scholarships for lacrosse to numerous college’s. My greatest satisfaction comes from watching our players mature and succeed.
