Why did you choose Mizzou?
I grew up bleeding black and gold. My entire family has attended Mizzou and my dad played baseball here in the late '70's. 

How did you decide on your major?
BI really enjoy learning about the financial world and after baseball I hope to work in the financial services field.
 
Favorite class and why?
Investment, because I enjoy learning about the world of investments and I know it'll be something I will work with daily in my career.

What game do you look forward to most and why?
Definitely the baseball series against KU. The rivalry is truly one of a kind! Ever since I was a kid I was raised to love the Tigers and beat the Jayhawks.

What do you want to do when you graduate?
I would love to continue to play baseball professionally, until someone tells me to quit. After that, I plan to work as a Financial Advisor.

How did you get started in your sport?
My brother, he is 4 years older than me and I would always attend his practices as a small child because my dad was the coach. My love for the game only grew from there.

Best memory at Mizzou (athletic related)?  
Beating KU at home my sophomore year on walk off home run by Ryan Ampelman.

Hobbies outside of your sport?
Working out, taking my dog Wilson to the park to swim and rooting on other Mizzou student-athletes!

Accomplishment(s) you are most proud of?
Living my dream of being a student-athlete at Mizzou.
