College Attended - Rochester CC, Ridgewater CC, Dakota State University

Number of years playing for the Express - 4

Favorite place to play in CVL and why? Watkins, by far the best looking park in Central, Minnesota. Unique outfield fense, trees in backround and always the greenest grass.

Worst place to play in CVL and why? Pearl Lake and Eden Valley. In Pearl Lake, instead of worrying about running into a fense you worry about a car running into you. In Eden Valley, horrible playing there at night, the light in center field is terrible for hitters.

Favorite baseball player to watch growing up? Barry Bonds

Why I play amateur baseball?
Would'nt want to be the odd man out in my family. No, but seriously, for the competition. And I couldn't ask for any more than playing with my two brothers and  my father.

Favorite Quote - John F. Kennedy 1960, When asked if he would accept the Vice-Presidency of the United States because he's young and a Catholic, he said "no, once you accept second place when first is available, you have a tendency to do it the rest of your life."

Best hitter in the CVL - Coin flip between Stan and Scott.

Best pitcher in the CVL - Bruce Geislinger

Kimball business that I frequent the most - Schmidty's Conoco

Lumber of Choice - Akadema last season, Baum this year.

Likes/Dislikes about the wood bat coming back - Love it! Pine Tar! Broken Bats!The Sound! It's the way baseball was meant to be played.

Night or day games - Day

Baseball Superstition - My parking spot at the park more than anything. Hasn't been hit yet!

Hobbies - Any kind of hunting, fishing, watching sports, and working on the Express web-site.

Biggest baseball influence in my life - My father, other wise I probably wouldn't like the game the way I do now. And Pat Dolan (Head Coach DSU) I have never been so amazed how much one person knows about the game of baseball.
