I wouldn’t be standing in front of you today if it wasn’t for my support system. A huge thank you goes out to my family Rod, Hollie, Nick and Kyle for all the sacrifices they’ve made to help me reach my dream of playing college softball. I also want to take a moment to thank Bob Green and David Scown aka “Davida” for making me feel like a D1 all American picture “haha”, but seriously, you guys truly supported me in the recruiting process and went to bat for me in so many situations I couldn’t ask for a better coaching duo."
