Background Before You Begin Your Journey

Here's some background about me before you begin your journey reading my blog and latest experiences.

I grew up in Southern Illinois in the small town of Nashville.  I am lucky in the sense that I found my passion in life at a very young age.  The game of softball has taught me some important life lessons throughout my playing days.  Adversity, teamwork, and leadership are just a few of the life lessons I took away from the game.

As a shortstop at SIUC, I was blessed to be a part of a team that was very special.  The time spent at SIUC not only revived my collegiate career but it gave me a team to fight for, a team to work for, and a coaching staff to run through a wall for.  Some of the life's lessons I took away from my time at SIUC have continued with my business. I opened Turn 2, a baseball and softball training facility located in Collinsville IL in October of 2007.
