Why do you like the game of softball?
Because it gives me a chance to compete against some of the best Softball players in the world.

Who is the best softball player you have ever seen play?
Tough question,  I'd have to say, Jr, Kendrick,  Andy and Bryson.   I could go on and on but those are the few that really stand out.

What position do you play?
I play outfield but love an occasional EH spot…

What is your nickname in softball?
All my teammates call me Drock

Where do you call home?
I'm from TX but I lived in FL for five years and would love to move back ASAP.   I currently live in Va right now.

What do you do for a living?
I've been in the Coast Guard for 11 yrs but Reebok just hired me on as a team sales director.

Did you play sports in High School / College / Pro?
Played baseball, basketball and football

How did you get your start in softball and how did you get to the upper level?
I was in Savannah, GA at Boone's tournament back in 2004 and Troy Nance asked me to play.   I've been playing ever since.   I love every minute of this game.   The competition is awesome and my little girls Madison and Summer love to come watch the games.

What batting grip do you use, and what is your favorite bat?
I hang 1 finger off the knob. 

What is your favorite sports team?
I'm a Rangers fan so this World Series has been stressful so far.

What is your favorite sport other than softball?
Baseball

Do you have any superstitions and if so, what are they?
Not that I can talk about

What is your most memorable softball moment?
When I took my wife and kids to the Dudley in 2009.   I remember what a blast my little girls had watching and getting interviewed by Softball Magazine.

Is slowpitch softball a sport or a game?
Its a sport, we work to hard at it for it not to be.

What is the best improvement upper level softball could make?
Fix the bat problem!

What is your favorite non-World tournament?
SMOKEY!

What is the funniest thing you have seen on a softball field?   Troy Nance got pissed at the major in 2009 and kicked the water bottle in the dugout and broke his toe
