Why did you chose Central?

I decided to come to Central because I could tell that the teachers, coaches, and administration all really cared about doing all they could to benefit each student both academically and beyond school.

Favorite professor and why?

Dr. Jones because he is chill, knows how to connect with every student, and really cares about students both in and out of the classroom

Who are your go-to musical artists?

Lil pump, Lil Kunta, J $wag, and Coro

You’re majoring in psychology because?

It was something that always interested me and that I wanted to learn more about.

Pancheros or chipotle?
 
Chipotle for sure
 
What is the weirdest scar you have and how did you get it?

I have a couple scars but I have one on my hand I got from making pizza. I was making a pizza and while I was taking it out I was not really paying attention and burnt my thumb on the oven real bad so it scared.
 
What is your dream job?

Working at a community college as an academic advisor and coaching baseball.
 
What are different nicknames you have had in your life?

People used to call me “Bow” like what Waka Flaka randomly yells in his songs but a nickname that stuck is Bambi
 
Favorite sport besides baseball

I really like to play and watch volleyball and soccer

What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?

I went to Central for a semester my freshman year, but then transferred to a juco for a year before fortunately transferring back to Central. I would say from that situation and those events I learned a lot about myself through that process and what I learned has been really important in my life and made me who I am today
 
Favorite TV Show


The Good Place or King of the Road"

What’s one thing people might not know about Coach Schirm?

He does all he can to better the team and motivate us to do better which sometimes includes doing some of our conditioning with us

What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central Baseball?

The Florida trip is always fun getting to bond with the guys and getting out of the cold for a little is always a plus.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Be dominating some slow pitch

Favorite food from Central Market

Cook to order omelets

Bucket list

Spend as much time as I can with family and friends and just vibe
