It is a great school academically and I really liked the coaching staff and facilities.

PBR: What other schools were you considering?

Duke, Mizzou, University of Central Missouri, Morehead, UT Martin, Indiana State

PBR: Where did the coaching staff first see you? How did your relationship develop with them?

Coach Wallace saw me play in Indianapolis this summer and he called me later that night and we kept in touch through the summer.

PBR: Was there one deciding factor that put your choice over the top?

Their coaching staff and the facilities 

PBR: Who has helped you the most to get to where you are today?

Without my older brother and my dad I wouldn't be here today. My brother showed me what working hard was and my dad did more of the mechanical side of things.

PBR: What were your expectations about the recruiting process? Was it easy/difficult?

It was difficult. It put me in some tough situations to make a decision but I am happy with my decision.

They said that I would have the opportunity to play my freshman season.

When our Little League All-star Team made it to the Little League World Series

PBR: This summer you made the decision to go play for the St. Louis Gamers, what was that experience like? 

It was a great experience. I made a lot of new friends and learned a lot of baseball and life skills.
