DJ loves the team Camaraderie, the travel, how he has seen progression in is personal gains and the competition!


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Me as his guardian and Grandpa! I’m retired Air Force and he knows how I have sacrificed my life for this great country. I played competitive softball overseas and in AZ, as he was our bat boy in AZ at the age of 8, he saw how I was on and off the field.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

I was the most proud when he made the All State team and represented all of Arizona. We traveled to Kansas and was a proud Grandpa watching him shine!!
