Unfortunately I would have to leave Blue behind at home with my parents 3 months after getting him while pursuing the call to Belmont. How in the world did I end up at Belmont you ask? Well, I'd be lying if I said that God didn't have a huge part in getting me here. After months of trying to quit baseball and wanting to just pursue music and song-writing I decided it was in my best interest to keep playing ball and get a good degree in something that I loved. But, I did want to go to a school where I could play baseball and do music stuff. There was only one place in mind for me and that was Belmont. This whole process was so last minute that I got my acceptance letter the week before I moved in. I got the last bedroom in a two bedroom apartment at Hillside. Every detail worked out perfectly. I love it here in Nashville at Belmont. I have the best of both worlds.

Currently I am in the middle of baseball season. Things are busy but they are going well. I am enjoying getting to pitch, compete, and build relationships with my teammates. I am taking private voice, guitar, and piano lessons and enjoying them as well.

My first year at Belmont has been great thus far. I am involved with Synodia, a student led and organized worship service on campus, made a lot of great friends and met a lot of cool people, experienced God's faithfulness like never before, help start and lead our baseball devotional, attempting to get better in all aspects of music, and truly enjoying where I am.

One of my favorite definitions of success is by Mark Batterson who wrote In a Pit With A Lion on a Snowy Day. He says, "success is doing the best you can with what you have where you are."
