Which coaches have had the most influence on you? Why? The coaches that have had the most influence on me are my dad because he was the one that taught the game to me and made me love it. My former high school coach, Coach Adair, because he taught me how to play the game the correct way and while he was doing so he also taught me more about life and the Lord. He helped make me a better man. And Coach Blackmon because he has taught me different views on the game and has helped me become more of a leader.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? In 10 years, I see myself teaching my children the love of baseball.

What will you miss most about high school sports? What i will miss most about high school sports is mostly playing the game. After high school I will not have the chance to play on a baseball field and after the last 15 years of playing select baseball and then high school ball, it will be tough. I will miss the moments where the game is on the line and the pressure is all on me. Those are the moments I strive for, that I seek more than anything.
