What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
    I chose Liberty for several reasons. It is so unique and checks all the boxes for me. Division 1 Christian universities like Liberty are few and far between, making it stand out above many other schools.
Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
    I always pray before my games. While I sometimes pray for one thing or another, I will always ask that I can glorify God on the baseball field.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
    Gene Larkin is my inspiration. I have trained with him ever since I have been a little boy. He is all around good human AND had the walk off hit in the 1991 game 7 world series for the Minnesota Twins.
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
    My most memorable athletic accomplishment would be becoming the conference player of the year my senior year of high school.

Favorite meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and what is that special meal?
    Anything from Chipotle is my favorite meal.
