Question: What brought you to Kelowna for the summer?

Answer: I was just thinking of playing summer ball and why not play for Kelowna and for the Falcons.

A: It’s a beautiful city, I love it. The mountains are nice and my teammates here are cool too.

A: No I’ had never been outside Ontario (in Canada), so this is a good experience for me.

Q: What got you into baseball?

A: When I was a kid, I just picked up a glove and a ball and played catch with my dad, and I started playing little league.

Q: What’s your end goal in baseball?

Q: Who’s your biggest inspiration?

A: I’d say my dad.

Q: Favourite baseball team?

A: The Toronto Blue Jays.

Q: What’s your pregame meal and/or ritual?

Q: What’s your walkout song?

A: What I’ve Done by Linkin Park

Q: What’s your best on-field memory?

A: That’s a tough one, probably pitching at the Rogers Centre [home of the Blue Jays].

Q: If you weren’t playing baseball, what would you be doing right now?

A: I haven’t thought of that much, probably working, maybe construction.
