What have you been doing since graduation?

I spent 4 years attending Davidson College and playing baseball there. I was a weekend starter for 3 years, and helped lead our team to the winningest season in program history my Senior year. I was named 2nd team All Southern Conference and was voted team Most Valuable Pitcher Junior and Senior years. Following graduation from Davidson with a degree in Economics, I attended UVA for graduate school and earned my Master's in Commerce.

What are you doing now?

I currently work for a primary source research firm in Charlotte, NC assisting hedge funds/private equity firms with their investment research.

Do you have one specific play or game you remember that stands out in your mind? If yes, please tell us what.

The entire playoff run my Senior year (2010). Unfortunately we fell just short, but it was awesome to see everything come together that we had worked so hard for.

What is one of your favorite memories of Cosby Baseball?

The camaraderie in the dugout. From weekly team dinners to blasting "Oh, What A Night" after wins, we were a close-knit bunch that liked to have fun. It definitely made all of our wins that much sweeter.

How did Cosby Baseball help shape or prepare you for your future?

Coach Lowery runs the Cosby program like a college program, so that made for an easy transition to the next level for me. Also, the coaching staff did a great job of instilling a strong work ethic and a winning attitude in my teammates and I, allowing us to be successful during and after high school.
