Why did you chose Central?
             
I chose Central because of it being a small school in a smaller town, which is what I had in high school. I liked the idea of being in smaller classes and not huge lecture halls. I knew Central would be a good place to continue my education while also have the chance to continue playing baseball.

Favorite professor and why?
             
My favorite professors are Sara Bergman and Maggie Schlerman. They both really enjoy what they do and are always there for you when you have questions.

Who are your go-to musical artists?
             
Thomas Rhett is one of my favorites, but I really like anything country.


You’re majoring in accounting because?
             
I’m majoring in accounting because I took a couple of accounting classes in high school and really enjoyed it. I also enjoy working with numbers. I like having some of the same ideas from business classes while also being able to incorporate numbers.

What is your perfect pizza?
             
My perfect pizza is a chicken alfredo pizza with bacon

Who is your hero/inspiration?
             
I’d say right now someone who’s an inspiration is my teammate, Jake Wegner. He just got done battling cancer for a second time and is back on campus this semester. His strength isn’t all the way back yet but he is always at practice doing what he can to get better and to help the team out. He’s just kind of shown me to make the best out of whatever situation you may be put in.

What’s the weirdest nickname you’ve ever had?
             
In high school one of my teachers called me The Silent Sassinator because I didn’t talk much but when I did it was straight sass and sarcasm.

If you could live in any TV show, which one would it be and why?
             
I would say The Office because I would want to see Michael Scott interact with everyone in person and just follow Creed around and see what his day is like.

Chore you absolutely hated doing as a kid?
             
Cleaning my room

“This season I hope that….”
             
We can continue moving up the line every day and become conference champs

Favorite TV Show
             
The Office or Parks and Rec

What’s one thing people might not know about Coach Deutscher?
             
His idea of a perfect first date is star gazing on a warm summer night from the top of the dugout

What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central Baseball?
             
Being around everyone almost every day and all of the friends that I have made through the years

“Ten years from now I’ll...”
             
Hopefully be married with some kids, cracking dad jokes like it’s my job

Favorite food from Central Market
             
Country Fried Steak

Bucket list
             
Visit every MLB stadium, go whitewater rafting, and learn to play the harmonica
