I was raised in a family of six. I have an older sister who is now in college and two younger brothers. My family and I are Christian, and I firmly believe in Jesus as my Lord and Savior. My parents both went to college and became engineers. My father went on to serve fifteen years as an Air Force pilot. I have grown up in Central Oregon where I like spending time outdoors on hikes and fly-fishing the rivers around my house. I love heading over the my grandparent’s house to watch sports and more specifically the Seattle Mariners. I have always loved baseball because it is truly a unique game. There isn’t one way of accomplishing a goal like hitting a baseball – every major leaguer has a unique swing that fits their body and talent.
