The Northeast Hawks organization was founded in 2014, although most of the staff had been working together as part of another organization. After several winning seasons and a state title, they decided to start the Northeast Hawks. From naming the organization after an acrobatic keen-eyed aerial hunter to rocking orange and black uniforms in homage to the Baltimore Orioles, shows how connected the program is to the city that they represent.
"I knew that I wanted to do things differently than the other programs I had been a part of. I wanted the Hawks to be defined by our character, and not our championships, by our work ethic not just our wins. As a coach, I have always drawn off my real-life experiences, and because my story is different than the next man’s story, my approach is equally different.”
"While that sounds good, and I believe most people mean well when they say it, it’s not always the reality around here. I don’t totally agree with that narrative either, because where does that leave the kid who isn’t a great student, or the one who can’t afford to go to college, or the ones that go through some personal setbacks, or become parents at a young age and have to figure out how to support a family ? Baltimore is a blue-collar city, it’s a historic city, but it can also be a really tough city to grow up in."
"There are real issues here, and our kids don’t just see them on the news, they live them. That’s the reality I know, I am 1000% for education, but I also equally advocate entrepreneurism. We all want the best life for our children, but success isn’t always a smooth straight road, life has forks, hills, curves, and the ride can be quite bumpy. In the nutshell I wanted our players to understand even the smooth roads, can become slippery and that everyone does not travel the same path to success.."
