My dreams and goals have been to play baseball at a collegiate level and beyond. I desire to play at a top notch college and be a vital role in the organization. Beyond baseball, I plan to major in pre-med and eventually become an Orthopedic Doctor. The past few years have shaped my future in ways I would have never imagined due to personal injuries. I realize now that I have to work harder and smarter instead of just one or the other. Having learned this, I aspire to use my knowledge and ability to contribute to a baseball team that suits me best. I had Tommy John Surgery on my throwing arm on December 22, 2011. I only just started hitting again around April 7, 2012. My progress is going great and I should start pitching again in June.
