Additional InformationI graduated from Chisago Lakes High School in the summer of 2010. I attended North Iowa Area Community College after high school on a baseball scholarship and to pursue a college degree. I transferred to Minnesota State Mankato University after I graduated from NIACC to continue playing baseball and to further my education. I grew up on a hog farm where my family and I grew crops and sold hogs. Growing up on a farm created my work ethic, hard-work and dedication. Playing sports in college created my motivation and effort to win. Despite dealing with adversity by having two serious injuries (sports), I understand how hard to keep fighting to get back on track.
