Multiple in game ...Personal Statement
I train on a weekly basis with a variety of coaches that are helping me achieve my ultimate goal, to play baseball at the highest level. My approach to the game is staying positive, present and competing to win. I thrive on competition. I feel that I would be a valuable asset to any program because I lead by example.
I grew up in the heart of downtown Atlanta attending the Neighborhood Charter School in historic Grant Park through the eighth grade. I received a varsity letter in baseball my freshman year from Decatur High School in Decatur Georgia, before transitioning to an NCAA-accredited college preparatory online high school program through Indiana University. Attending an online high school has allowed me to be independent and take responsibility for myself.
I currently play my spring high school season with East Cobb Baseball Academy and my summer and fall seasons with the East Cobb Dodgers. Recently I also traveled to the Dominican Republic with Matt Kirby, the assistant baseball coach at the University of Virginia and played baseball against MLB’s best international high school age talent.
Outside of school and baseball training, I really enjoy being with my family and friends, traveling, reading, hiking, cycling, photographing, playing drums and listening to music.
I am excited about the future and its many opportunities!
