Personal: Biomedical Engineering major at UMES…Chose UMES because it had the best of both worlds for him. At UMES he has great support from both sides to reach his potential athletically and academically…Plans to either fulfill his dream of playing in the MLB, but, if that is not in God’s plan, aims to become an engineer…Favorite professional baseball teams are the Atlanta Braves and Dallas Mavericks…Favorite professional athlete is Ronald Acuna Jr…

Favorite baseball memory is having a home run streak during his senior year of high school…Favorite thing about being a baseball player is, “Being able to fail and grow every day because baseball is a sport that as soon as you think you know everything it will humble you”...Enjoys playing at an HBCU because: “It means a lot  to me to play baseball at an HBCU because I get the opportunity to represent my school and community. Knowing that many Black kids don’t always get the chance to play this sport at this level, I try to take pride in being able to inspire others to follow the same path.”
