Favorite Bible Verse:

Galatians 2:20 — “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me…”
This verse has been my favorite since high school. It reminds me that my old self has been put away and that I have a new life in Christ. Every time I read it, it feels personal.

Who has been the most influential person in your life?

My dad. He lives out his faith every day with incredible integrity. He leads by example, always says the right thing, does the right thing, and truly reflects what it means to follow Christ.

Who has impacted your spiritual journey the most?

My brother, Tyler. During a pivotal season in college, he was there for me. His faith is genuine—he listens, cares deeply about people, and lives with authenticity. That has had a lasting impact on me.

Favorite Food:

Steak

Favorite Music:

Country — especially Chris Stapleton

Hobbies:

Golf, spending time on the lake, boating, fishing, and most of all, spending time with my son.

Pre-Game Routine:

I try not to be superstitious, but before every night game I usually grab Chipotle before heading to the field. It’s become part of my routine.

Favorite Baseball Memory:

Clinching a playoff spot with the Seattle Mariners in 2022, ending the franchise’s 21-year postseason drought. Experiencing that moment with the team and the city of Seattle is something I’ll never forget.
