WELCOME

Welcome to my baseball page. My latest update is that I signed with the Keizer-Salem Volcanoes. The first tryout out of 5 I planned on attending was the one in Keizer, Oregon so it was nice to call that place home right away. So far, we are doing well as a team, and I am starting to collect some hits and rbi's. So much baseball left and I look forward to providing updates here. Thank you for those who continue to cheer me on while I go live my dream and crush that ball! I hope to inspire many to keep playing until the wheels fall off or pursue the dream of pro ball if the fire is still there. For me, my most important years of baseball 16-22 were robbed due to needing more procedures for my cleft palate and lip. I had a late growth spurt not just in height but jaw and palate and the cleft needed additional work to keep up with my growing. Because of this I stuck with bodybuilding and powerlifting as a good outlet for me and to get strong so when I came back to baseball, I would have something to work with. I got into a high-level men's league in Seattle called the PSBL. It was the perfect spot for me to fine tune my skill set before I headed on out to pursue my dream of professional baseball.
