Why I came to the Academy: ?I came because I wanted to be around motivated people who had the drive to do things important. I wanted to serve my country and get a great education while doing so. Not to mention I get to play Division I baseball in a competitive conference. The opportunity to come here is second to none and once I got into the Academy there was no way I could pass it up.?

My plans for the future: ?My first plan is to graduate. After I become a 2nd Lt. I hope to become a pilot. I don?t know what I want to fly yet. If for some reason I can?t fly a plane then I?m really not sure yet what I?m going to do. The main goal for me is to just become a good officer.?
