BIO

What emoji represents you?

"I would choose a cross."

Career plans/dreams/ideas?

"My dream is to be the pastor of an independent, fundamental Baptist church."

Who is somebody you admire, and why?

"I admire my dad for the gracious leadership he has shown in my life."

If you were an animal what would you be, and why?

"I would be a Kodiak grizzly bear because their strength and size demand respect, while they really are generally calm and contented."

Do you have any pre-game or game-day traditions or rituals?

"I always pray in the dugout before a game."

Complete this sentence: "Good leaders ________?"

"... look to Jesus to be led by Him."

What attracts you to MBU?

"I like their fundamental stance on the Word of God, and their high academics."

NON-FRESHMEN: What's a great MBU memory on the field/court?

"One great memory on the field was my first at bat last year. It was my first game as a baseball player, and I was quite nervous. I watched a few balls and a strike go by, and I finally swung at a pitch which, I was told, was above my head. I drove it out to right center where it bounced off the center fielder's glove, resulting in a single."

NON-FRESHMEN: What's a great MBU memory off the field/court?

"One of my favorite memories with the team was the time we held a kangaroo court at Rhea County Courthouse in Dayton, Tennessee, where the Scopes Trial took place."
