Finally, I wanted to play in a great sports town and Chico was the perfect place, especially because of the towns love for baseball.'
- His greatest sports moment thus far was 'last year while I was playing at East Los Angeles College, when we beat #1 ranked Palamor college as the last seed in the first round of the playoffs. It was a historic upset that hasn't happened in recent years, and was some of the best team baseball that I have ever played in my life, and it helped prepare me for the next level.'
