• Self-description in 10 words or less: "Laid-back but determined"
• My favorite aspect of being an athlete is: "The competition! It's the best part of any sport. The drive to beat your opponent is the best feeling, especially when you win."
• The part of my game I've improved the most is: "I've really improved on my pitches by mixing up the speeds and hitting my spots when needed."
• My personal athletic goal at VWC is: "To work hard to become a starting freshman and to better myself on the field everyday."
• If I could spend one day with a famous person from any time period it would be: "I'd spend the day with Mac Miller because I really like his music and he seems to be a really laid back and fun guy to hang out with."
• If I could participate in a reality show it would be: "I'd go with Deal or No Deal so that I could win some money."
• It's the year 2025 and: "I am continuing my career in baseball somewhere, with a beautiful wife, possibly a kid or two, and living my life to the fullest."
• If I could possess one superpower it would be: "The ability to fly because I hate airplanes."
• People might be surprised to know: "I'm not going to put myself out there to get to know them, I'm fine with the people and friends that are in my life."
• The most important advice I've received is: "Continue to follow your dreams and no matter how hard things get or seem, don't give up on what you believe in." --Tim Fenn
