Personal Statement

    My goal is play ball in college while obtaining a degree in engineering.  I love every aspect of the game whether I am closing the inning with that third strike on the outside corner, covering first, catching a fly ball in right field or in the dugout rallying the team!  I want to inspire others by being a man who lives by faith and integrity.
