Why did you choose to attend Hillsdale College?:
Hillsdale College has a reputation not only around the state of Michigan, but also around the United States as being a very prestigious college in terms of the difficulty of the academics and the quality of the material being taught. Receiving a baseball scholarship made my decision to come to Hillsdale College an easy one.

Active with community service around Hillsdale as well as working at the sports complex three times a week.
What do you like best about being an athlete at Hillsdale?:
My favorite thing about being an athlete at Hillsdale is knowing that your teammates will always have your back, whether it is in the classroom or on the ball diamond.
What is the key to succeeding in the classroom as well as on a team?:
Hard work and diligence in trying to succeed at a given task is the key to success. You must have a "never give up" attitude at a school that offers academics at such a high level.
What has been the highlight of your athletic career here?:
As a freshman, I expect my highlights are yet to come!
