Who are your role models? My father and grandfathers: Brian Bradbury “Dad”, Mike Bradbury “Pawpaw”, Joe Wood “Papa Joe” and Mark Dunham “Poppy” who all set great examples for me of what type of man I want to be in life.

Which coaches have had the most influence on you? Why? Coach Dolan believed in me and supported me, when I decided to play football my senior year. He was a great coach and is now a great friend. Coach Dustin Russell and Coach Brandon Milam are great examples of how to carry yourself on and off the baseball field. They’re great leaders, patient and knowledgeable when it comes to the game of baseball. I feel like I have learned a lot about the game and life with them as well as what kind of man I want to be in my future. Even though it looks like our season may be cut short, they both have given me great memories to last a lifetime.

Something about yourself that most people don’t know: I was 3 years old before I started talking.
