• Self-description in 10 words or less: "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"
• My favorite aspect of being an athlete is: "meeting new people and making friends and being associated with a group of guys who remain friends and become a family"
• The part of my game I've improved the most is: "controlling my emotions and being a guy of encouragement to teammates"
• My personal athletic goal at VWC is: "to WIN"
• If I could spend one day with a famous person from any time period it would be: "Pete Rose. He was a man with confidence. So much confidence he would bet on his team to win every game. Obviously Pete was banned because of this.  Pete was loved by family and friends. In my opinion, he is one of the best baseball players to play the game.  I would love to sit down and pick his brain about life and baseball"
• People might be surprised to know: "my ninth generation grandfather is Johan Sebastian Bach, the composer"

• The most important advice I've received is: "you must make yourself happy before you can make anyone else happy" -- Mom
