Beginning of Freshman Year
This picture was taken the summer right before Freshman year. I was with my family on a little vacation in Florida. It is crazy how much I have changed since this picture. I was so excited to get started at Woodstock High School and take the next step in my life. High school flew by because I actually remember my mother taking this picture and I still remember that day on the beach. I've changed a lot since this day, but I will always be the same kid somewhere inside of me. -

Lake Day during freshman year
One of the things I love about my family is the fact that we go out on our boat as much as we possibly can. The lake has always been a great family bonding activity whether we are just hanging out or fishing. This picture was taken one weekend during ym freshman year and again I don't look anything like how I look now. I also remember this day out on the lake very well. the significance of this picture is because the lake has always been a little vacation away from the real world for me. -
Real baseball starts
I have always played baseball my entire life. It is something I have a strong passion for and always will. I was not very good though when I was younger. This picture was taken in the summer before my sophomore year. This was the first summer of real travel baseball for me and it is when my baseball career, in my opinion, actually started. My summer coach Brian Nelson has played such a big role in my baseball career and I would have never known him without deciding to play for his team. -
Football Games
I've always been a very big football fan and this was the Woodstock vs Etowah football game my sophomore year. I loved going to the games and seeing all of my close friends cheer on some of my other close friends as they try to beat our rival school. Football games have always been a great place to hang out with friends and watch some good football at the same time. -
Etowah Baseball
This picture was taken during my junior year playing baseball at Etowah. This was where I took my biggest step forward in my baseball career. I went from a below average player to a player that people talk about. I realized this is something I want to do in college so I started working as hard as I could and working nonstop to be the best player I can be. I was 1st Team All- County and 1st Team All-Region in one of the toughest regions in the Southeast. -
Hunting Trip
For my senior project I decided to do hunting because it was something I enjoyed very much. This picture was taken after I killed the biggest deer I had ever killed before. It was a 13 pointer. Hunting is a great was for me to relax and take a mini vacation and get away from the real world stress. I could sit in a deer stand all day and just relax and it would not bother me at all. Baseball puts a lot of stress on me so being able to go out into the woods for a little bit of time helps me a lot. -
Power Showcase All-American
I got invited to play in an event called the Power Showcase in Miami at the Miami Marlins MLB Stadium. It was the coolest experience I have ever had in my baseball career. The first couple days were made for scout days where we show off our talents in front of the professional scouts. The next day was the home run derby where we try to hit home runs in the huge MLB stadium. I ended up trying for 4th with 5 home runs and my longest home run went 452ft. The final day was the All-American game.
