I have been a catcher and infielder ever since with Catcher as my primary position. I am active in my Church and Younglife. I also participate in Basketball.

Catching is my passion and focus but when the High School team needed me to play 1st as a freshman being our catcher was a Senior, I did what my coach asked to help the team and learned a new position beating out 6 upper classmen for the position. As a Sophomore they asked me to play 3rd and catcher and start each game at one of those positions.  As a Freshman and Sophmore, I started every game  and received post season honors for  All Area Honorable mention as a freshman. I also was awarded Most Improved Player as a Freshman as voted by my High School Coaches. I have achieved Head Masters Honor roll for the last 8 semesters. This is achieved for all A's.
