Medicine Hat Big League Baseball has truly been the cornerstone of my life, shaping both my personal and professional journey. My four years of High School Baseball and American Legion Baseball not only provided me with valuable experiences but also helped me form lasting relationships that continue to have an impact. These experiences and relationships laid the foundation for securing my first teaching job right after completing university.

I am forever grateful to Lovell, who gave me my first job as a grounds crew worker and offered me the opportunity to coach once my playing days were over. His unwavering support has been instrumental, not only in my life but in the lives of countless other alumni in our program. It does not matter where you go in Montana, oftentimes the first question we as coaches get asked by opposing teams is "how's Lovell doing". His commitment to the Big League Baseball Program and ensuring that our players have the best facilities is something that many communities are extremely jealous of. His impact on our program and city cannot be understated. 

While I still remember many of the thrilling wins and heartbreaking losses, it is the lessons, connections, and opportunities that came from my time with Medicine Hat Big League Baseball that will always hold a special place in my heart. I can confidently say that without the Medicine Hat Big League Baseball program I do not know what my life would like right now.
