How/when did you start playing football and baseball?

I always grew up loving to play with any type of ball. But I didn’t start playing my first actual organized baseball and football games until I was around five.

Have you ever played any other sports?

No I haven’t, I’ve always just stuck with the two sports that I love.

What is your favorite memory of playing high school baseball?

My favorite memory of playing high school baseball was when I hit a triple last year against Denmark in the playoffs. It was such a good feeling.

Who is a professional athlete you look up to?

An athlete that I look up to would be Conner McGregor. The reason being is he was an underdog his entire career and he proved everyone wrong. It was so relatable to us this year playing football. Everyone under estimated us.

Would you rather play a game in extreme heat or extreme cold?

I would rather play a game in the extreme cold because if I ever got too cold I could just keep adding on layers.

What is your favorite part of playing a team sport?

My favorite part about playing a team sport is the bond that you form with guys that you really don’t know that well.

What is your favorite pregame snack/meal?

My favorite pregame meal would have to be Qdoba.

Walk-up song?

Superstar

All-time favorite movie?

My all time favorite movie would either be Step Brothers or Forest Gump.

Do you have any hobbies outside of sports?

Outside of sports I like to hunt, fish, play cards with my buddies, and spend time with my family.

What would your dream vacation be?

My dream vacation would be going to Australia.

What are your plans after high school?

After High School I will be attending UW-Stout to earn my degree in Construction Management.
