I'm Mac McCann from Cleveland, Ohio and am a freshman here at Elon. I love to be outdoors; fishing, boating, canoeing and shooting clays. I also like all types of sports, but I mainly focus on hockey, lacrosse and golf. Other than that, I love meeting new people, listening to music and travel. Can't wait to meet all of you!
