I was selected for the North/South All-Star game after the 2006 season at Rushville. I continued my journey at Parkland College in 2007 before transferring to Huntington University, where I helped to contribute toward two conference championships from 2008 to 2010. My career also includes serving as the Director of Baseball Operations at IPFW and as an assistant coach for the 17U Fort Wayne Cubs in 2011. I was the Head JV Baseball Coach at Franklin Community High School for one year.  For nine years, I dedicated myself as the Head JV Baseball Coach in Rushville.  I also have been teaching Elementary PE in Rush County Schools for 13 years.
