Why did you choose Central?


I chose Central because my two main things I was looking for were offered. Those two things were being able to play baseball as well as major in Engineering…. And I always heard how great of an education I would receive by going to Central.

Favorite professor and why?

This is tough but I will have to say Professor Franks! He is such a great guy but the fact that he loves baseball and loves to talk about it really gives him the advantage.

You’re majoring in Computer Science because?

The main reason was because engineering did not work out for me and I ended up not liking it. So that turned to me to figure out a new major and my love for technology, and wanted to learn so much more about computers and software which pushed me this direction. But I also knew that a degree in Com sci really opens up a lot of doors in terms of career paths.

Besides athletics, what else are you involved in on campus?

This past year I recently started going to the Com sci club, as well as the drone club. But baseball came around in the spring so I was not able to make meetings this past semester.

Who are your go-to musical artists?

Yikes, It's pretty random but I have to say it goes to Camilla Cabello and Luke Combs.

Who is your favorite MLB team?

Go Cubs Go.

What is your best sport besides baseball?

Pitchers are athletes so badminton.

Who has the best pitch in the MLB and what is it?

Max Scherzer, his changeup, never thought a ball could move like that.

All-time favorite Christmas gift

Oh by far my Dymo Shipping label printer!

Favorite TV Shows

Mandalorian and Ozark.

What’s it like to compete for Coach Schirm?

Coach Schirm really pushes you to be a better person on and off the field, and really allows the guys on the team to be who they are, which is awesome.

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

We have a lot of fun no doubt

What do you hope to be doing 10 years from now?

Lots of things! Own like 10 rental properties, have my own company, and not work for anyone but myself

Favorite food from Central Market

Swedish meatballs all the way

Bucket list
  • Go to Hawaii
