Biography/Motivation

Attending grades 1-12 in a small town in SE Minnesota with most of my teachers and coaches being graduates of WSTC, it was natural for me to choose WSC to continue my education. My goal was to earn a W letter jacket just like my coaches wore.

In the process of earning the letter jacket, I gained a degree with a double major in elementary and physical education. WSC was a nurturing community for a small town boy to grow up in and I would like to help provide a similar experience for another young baseball player from SE MN.
