He knew the former athletic director at Triton before getting the job and played against Triton in sports before he wanted to be a part of our community after seeing the students, attitude, and potential, that the school provides.

Alberts has a background in this job being the athletic director for Matignon for three years, then Wilmington High School for three years. Before being at Matignon he coached soccer and lacrosse at Boston College High School and served as the school Director of Alumni relations. He knew the former athletic director Sean Mclinnis at Triton and enjoyed playing against him in many sports.

He got to see Triton students in action and get a sense of the community.

There was a big appeal once he saw the students in action and see the games and community that he knew it was something he wanted to be a part of.
