I have always enjoyed playing baseball. Early on I realized I was different because I was left handed. Pitching left handed makes me more unique. My father was a collegiate athlete and was the first college graduate in his family. He has instilled in me the importance of a college education and the ability to play sports keeps me well rounded. Being a member of a team means more than just playing well on the team but it also means being a good team mate and community citizen and role model. I have been blessed with a family that supports my dreams of playing college baseball and I hope to earn a spot doing just that. My great grandfather was set to play pro baseball but was drafted into WW II where he broke his back. My dad tell me stories of ow he was a good athlete. My dad played college sports and my grand father would have played pro baseball if not for the War so playing sports I guess is part of who I am. I hope you will consider my profile moving forward.
