May 28, 2021 It’s a question we all get as kids: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” For me, the answer was simple. I wanted to play for the Atlanta Braves. Well I eventually got to high school and realized there isn’t a demand in Major League Baseball for a 5-foot-7, slow third baseman with very little pop in his bat. So I had to choose another goal. In August of 2003, I went to college. The new dream? I didn't just want to work in sports. I wanted to be a full-time Bulldog and work for Mississippi State athletics. There have been plenty of twists and turns over the last nearly two decades. But today, I write this to say I made it.
