Why do you like the game of softball?
Making new friendships even with “Canadians” and seeing new places makes it fun but I’m very competitive and softball give’s me the chance to compete against the best players in the country.

Who is the best softball player you have ever seen play?
Since I started playing I have seen a lot of great players.   When it comes to putting it all together on the field I would have to say Rusty, Wegman, and  JR. are some of the best I’ve seen.

What position do you play?
1st/OF

Where do you call home?
Vancouver Wa.

Inside sales for HD Supply Waterworks

Did you play sports in High School / College / Pro?
I played basketball and baseball in high School.   After high school it was straight to work for me!!

How did you get your start in softball and how did you get to the upper level?
I started playing softball on a co-ed team as a fill in when I was 17.   The next year some friends put together a local E team.   From then on I was hooked on softball.   A few years later after playing E/D level ball I got picked up by a local C team that traveled a little bit.   Then for the next 5-6 years I played with Vancouver USA at the C/B level.   Then in 2009 I was playing in Seattle against NW Combat with another local team.   Thanks to Derek Warren talking me up, after the game Coop said they were making some changes to NW and asked if I would be interested in finishing the year with them.   I made the move to NW and it worked out great!   From there I moved to Combat/Laser Vision the following year.

What batting grip do you use?
I hang my bottom two fingers off and over lap my top two.

What is your favorite sports team?
I don’t watch a lot of sports.   So I don’t really have one.

What is your favorite sport other than softball?
Golf / Hunting

Do you have any superstitions and if so, what are they?
Don’t have superstitions.

What is your most memorable softball moment?
Winning 2009 “B” Worlds with Nw Combat!!

Is slowpitch softball a sport or a game?
It’s a sport at this level.   If your home playing at your local park having fun with your friends and drinking a beer then it becomes a game.

What is the best improvement upper level softball could make?
It’s always changing.   Just let things be, it will work itself out.

What is your favorite non-World tournament?

By far it has to be SOFTBALL MAN!!!
