	SUMMARY
	I have played baseball my entire life - I love the game! I have always played "up" at a very competitive level. I have pitched in some high pressure situations including district playoff games, must-win Varsity district games, city championships, and all-star tournaments. I am also a seasoned first baseman with 100's of innings of experience. And because of my arm strength and throwing accuracy, I am an excellent outfielder.
