I’ve been lucky enough to be surrounded by great coaches along with teammates that have turned into lifelong friends.

Do you have any words or a message for your teammates? I want to thank my teammates for being some of my closest friends I’ve made during my time at Milton. I remember the butterflies in my stomach coming to tryouts freshman year, and also how quickly they vanished due to the fun-nature of the team.

What is your favorite quote? My favorite quote is from Teddy Roosevelt- “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood…who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

If you had one word to describe you what would it be? Friendly

What are some of the sacrifices you’ve made to be an athlete? I’ve had to sacrifice some time with family and friends for practices, saturday games, and far-away tournaments, but have never seen these things as much of a burden. Although I might miss out on some things, playing baseball with my friends isn’t beat by much, and I’m praying for some sort of season to begin in May.
