Why did you decide to come to West Point? What were some of the deciding factors? Who or what influenced your decision?
I chose to come to West Point for the opportunity to take the road less traveled. I wanted to do something more than the norm of going to a typical college. Ever since I began getting recruited by West Point for baseball I saw the chance to do something challenging, receive the best education possible, have a secure job straight out of school, and play competitive Division I baseball. It was something I could not turn down. The history, honor, and tradition all were other factors and influences that helped me make my decision to come to West Point.
