"As I look back, it's clear that Virginia Wesleyan really was the perfect start to the rest of my life. It's amazing how much transpired during my four years here- my lacrosse teammates have become lifelong friends, the faculty fully prepared me for the internship that my assistant lacrosse coach lined up for me during my junior summer break, which has turned into a great career, and on top of all that, I was lucky enough to have met my wife (Andrea Mackintosh '95) at Virginia Wesleyan and we have seen our family grow from just the two of us to six!" -Tommy Lewis
