1. What is your fondest memory from playing baseball?
I will never forget playing in the 1994 Little League College World Series. I was blessed with the opportunity to participate in something that most kids only dream of. It was an amazing experience.

2. Why did you choose Oklahoma to continue your baseball and academic career?
I chose Oklahoma because they have a very strong commitment to academic and athletic excellence. The facilities and opportunites available to athletes are wonderful.

3. Who is the funniest player and coach on the team? Why?
Ryan Richardson is the funniest player just because of his laugh and looks. Coach Hayward is the funnies coach because he always seems to make me laugh.

4. What is your most embarassing moment? Why?
I was very embarassed when I was playing in the Little League World Series and the ESPN cameras caught me dancing. Everyone watching saw my dancing skills!

5. If you could go to dinner with anyone (dead or alive), who would it be?
I would love to go to dinner with the late John F. Kennedy because I have always felt some sort of weird connection to him. We would eat dinner together and discover our common similarities.

6. What has been your favorite class at OU? Why?
I really enjoyed Experiencing Music. It is the only class where I have been able to dance and play instruments without getting in trouble!

7. What is your dream car or truck?
If I could I have my dream car or truck, I would choose neither. I have always wanted a Jesse James West Coast Chopper which is a motorcycle.

8. What is the best piece of advice that you ever received? Who was it from?
My parents always told me, "never take anything for granted." I try to live by that everyday of my life.

9. Where do you see yourself in ten years?
I plan to be married to a wonderful wife and hopefully about to start a family.

10. What is one intersting fact that people don't know about you?
I have really weird liking for tattoos.
