First and foremost I would like to thank God, my family, my coaches, and my supporters. Thank Coach Dalton and Coach Dettwiller for giving me the opportunity. With that being said I am excited to announce my commitment to Roane State. Go Raiders!! 🔴🔵 Hebrews 13:6
First chance to catch the Flames this fall as they host @ChattStTigersBB Saturday at Noon. Parents weekend at the Carp so join us for a full day of baseball. #FiredUp
Baseball rewards the ones who keep showing up.
The ones who put in the extra reps when no one’s watching.
The ones who fail, adjust, and come back stronger.
Hard work doesn’t always show up right away…
But when it does, it’s everything you dreamed of.
Keep going. The game always gives back.

I've had a lifetime of ups, downs, and sideways.
Baseball. Failure. Faith. Rock bottom. Redemption.
And the one lesson that ties all of it together?
You don't become better by avoiding hard.
You become better by embracing it...
I'm a broken, flawed man and I've made mistakes I'm not proud of.
I've let people down...not by choice, but I let them down.
But how I reacted to those moments? That's where the growth lived.
Here's what a lifetime of hard actually taught me.
Lesson #1: Life is going to be hard. That's not a warning, that's a promise.
People are going to be messy.
You're going to make mistakes.
The speed of life doesn't slow down for any of us.
What you control:
• Whether you embrace hard or run from it
• Whether you get better or just get bitter
• What your first thought is when your feet hit the floor in the morning
There's so much more value in pushing through hard times and coming out the other side.
Lesson #2: You can't outrun what you're supposed to grow through.
I numbed failure instead of walking through it.
I told myself it was working.
It wasn't.
Eventually, the hard you've been running from catches up.
And when it does you either let it break you or let it build you.
I've walked through all the challenges, all the ups, all the downs, all the sideways.
And I think every single one of them put me in a position I was handpicked for.
Hard doesn't disqualify you.
It prepares you for what's next.
Lesson #3: Be Steadfast. Be Persistent. Be Resilient.
Those aren't traits you're born with.
They're what's left after hard things do their work on you.
They didn't come from the easy stretches
They came from character that wasn't there before
Empathy I couldn't have had without the hard
Today is the only one we're promised.
Don't waste it running from hard.
Embrace it.
I share these lessons every time I speak because every room has people in the middle of their own hard.

Memorial Day question:
Who is the person in your son's baseball life — coach, mentor, family member , that you are grateful for today?
Tag them if you can. Gratitude shared out loud goes further than gratitude held quietly.
