WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield for the opportunity to play baseball, the close-knit feel and the small class sizes. I have also formed strong relationships with the coaches and love the community feel in McMinnville. 

WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? Being a student-athlete is a challenge that I look forward to. I’m excited to be a part of the Linfield baseball brotherhood while balancing academics and other extracurricular activities. 

HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? Participating in sports has taught me countless lessons that can be applicable in both sports and life. The team aspect of baseball is something I love. Having others hold me accountable has made me a better person. I’ve grown as a teammate and a leader on and off the field. 

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? I see myself working in sales and spending my free time on the golf course.
