WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because it felt like family from the first day I visited. The education offered at Linfield is beyond amazing and the campus is beautiful.  
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete means getting it done in the classroom and at the same time grinding on the field with your brothers.  
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I am a great teammate on the field and in the classroom. Being a student-athlete is a grind, but I am hard worker who does not stop until my goal is achieved. I put my teammates before myself and I’m always looking for an opportunity to get better. 
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAS HE OR SHE BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL? My mother. She fought stage-three breast cancer when I was a little kid. She showed me that anything is possible. She’s taught me to never give up and to work for everything I get. I’m thankful for my momma. 
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE PARTICIPATING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN... Rent is due every day. We can’t take a single day off. 
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE... I want to make it to the playoffs and win the NWC Tournament this year. Individually, I want to have a sub-1 WHIP this year. 
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? My career focus is to play baseball as long as I possibly can while also working as hard as I can to receive my business degree. Linfield is offering both of these aspects to me in one package. I get to play ball and have the opportunity to receive a business degree from a very respected school.
