I was raised to understand the importance of commitment, priorities, and doing things the right way. My parents instilled discipline and consistency in me, qualities that guide how I compete and work toward my goals. My journey shows that dedication, as I played two years of JUCO baseball, then took a gap year to bet on myself and focus entirely on development. That decision helped me become a Division I pitcher at Youngstown State, and I’m still pushing toward my dream of playing professionally. Off the field, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, playing video games, cooking, and staying active any way I can. After baseball, I hope to run my own business, launch a nonprofit, or pursue real estate. I’m looking to work with brands that help me reach my goals, whether that’s through nutrition, athletic gear, or mental health.
