I want to thank Buster Posey and the 2010 Giants for introducing me to the game that has shaped my life. Baseball has taught me to fail fast and persevere through difficult times and failures whilst keeping a steady, collected and confident composure. I love the intense competition of baseball and the gritty toughness and involvement that being a catcher ensues. I love a good challenge and both the required motivation and endurance, and the satisfaction of reaching my goals.
I am a California boy who loves surfing and working on cars when I am not on the diamond or in the cage. Surfing has taught me to get up and keep fighting through wipeouts or hardships and that there will alway be more opportunities so long as I work hard and don't give up. Working on project cars and go-karts has taught me how to make plans, follow through, strengthen my problem solving mindset.
