How did you get your start in softball and how did you get to the upper level?
Started playing league with my pops, that turned into a chance to play tournament ball.
Bradley Bounce E/D team pick me up to play 2011 WSL west coast championship we lost first game then run off 8-9 in a row to win a ring. Moved to NC 2012 played for R&B lawncare E/D team didn't lose much with them won a Softball Nation world together that team was tough to beat. Played for Players Softball best D team around had a lot fun with them great dudes. Bad draw picked me up from there that was the highest level(c) I played before that team was stacked! Cash runs great program they going make noise this year!

Bobby Nifong is the reason I made it to upper level.  He found me at a park hitting Bp with some buddies and asked me to demo the 2013 combats.  They liked me and asked if I would play in the KC major a week away and he said no guarantees but I like to have you.  Next day Hector Pagan calls me and asked me for all my information that Thursday I was on a flight to Kansas City and guess they like me and I got to finish the year with them!"

What was the most surprising difference between Conference play and non-Conference play when you made the jump?
The 11th hitter on some teams could be other teams 2-3-4-5 hitters.
Crazy talent in the conference makes your work that much harder in the off season.

So far Last season being my first year in the conference then playing in the Major World Series. That sticks out some people may never get that chance!

Mario Perez(player) told me what to expect playing in the conference. That's my guru

Mike Cox(POPs) watching him play as a youngster set the tone(HouseofPain) those were the good ol days.
