My life is simple: I just want to play ball. I was born in NY and grew up in Montclair, NJ before moving to La Canada, CA when I was ten. I just moved to Pasadena in the winter of '05 and I love hanging out there with my mom, who is probably the most wonderful person in the world. Not probably, definetly. The best way to understand me is to understand that I am a hardcore Yankee fan and obsessed with everything baseball. In my life there is baseball and the Yankees, and then there is everything else. So long as I'm around baseball, I'll be indefinetly happy. I aspire to become a physician in either neurosurgery or othopedics.I'd like to one day become the team doctor for the Yankees. I'm planning on majoring in English because I love to write and I think reading literature provides me with an entertaining way to think about some fundamental issues. I also am taking all the premed science classes which are very difficult for me, as science has always been my worst subject (and outside of a medical context, I really don't care). I love taking risks and going on adventures, and I'm a bit of a daredevil, though very calculating. I love that natural high you get standing on top of a telephone pole right before you jump. I can be pretty quiet at first, but I get a lot more boisterous once you get to know me. I guess what I would like to be in my life is the ideal of a ballplayer--just a classy person who works hard and does what one's supposed to do with grace. Small wonder that Lou Gehrig is my hero. GO YANKEES!
