In his sophomore year (2013) and under the watchful eye of coach Cantabene, the Mustangs went on to win the NCAA championship, a first for the college. Callum graduated with a Chemistry degree. He was named USILA First Team All American three times and MAC Men's Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the highest award in the conference that a student-athlete can achieve.

After graduation, Callum went on to play 6 years of professional lacrosse starting with the Bayhawks and later the Atlanta Blaze. In 2019 he was excited and honoured to play with Paul Rabil in newly founded PLL league for team Atlas. He is the only Australian to have played professional lacrosse in the US. He also proudly represented his country three times, twice playing for the Australian Men’s Lacrosse team in 2014 and 2018 and playing for the Under 21 team in 2011.

During his 12 years in the US, Callum had numerous jobs, made many good friends and coached and mentored numerous young people. Callum gave his time to everyone. He had the ability to make you feel like the most important person in the room no matter who you were. He was truly invested in you as a person.  

Callum’s passions extended beyond his love for people and lacrosse. As well as an avid surfer he was also involved with coastal cleanups and care for the environment. Having been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 12, he was passionate about helping young diabetic athletes source lifesaving products including insulin pumps.

Known as the Big Koala, Callum’s love for life was infectious. He would wake each day with the intent of making the world a better place. Thank you, Callum, for the love and joy you brought to us and so many others – we miss you every moment of every day!
