How did you get your start in softball and how did you get to the upper level?
After College I was passing by a local park on a Saturday and see a bunch of cars around. Stopped to watch and a team was short a player. I was asked if I could help them out. Played a couple games and was noticed by a coach by the name of BUBBA TATUM and was asked to play. I didn’t know any better or who he was and politely declined and said maybe later. The next year I was asked again and gave it a shot. Played with SPORTSCENTER/WORTH for 8 years all in and out of Conference events. Played everything from Major to C and held our own. Won a lot. Had a great time. At the end of the year in 2010 was asked to play worlds with BWW/MS Chargers and have played with them since.

Waffle House because it’s the only thing open

What is the funniest thing you have ever seen on a softball field?
When guys try and pimp a homerun and it’s a lazy fly or warning track power. Put your bat down and run.
