Advice for someone new

Finding Softball Austin

I played in the iPride league in Kansas City and, after moving here in 2015, looked for LGBTQ softball in Austin.

Why you keep coming back

Community, friendships, softball.

A standout moment

Gay Softball World Series in Kansas City, 2019 – 4th Place. It was a big one because it was my first World Series, and it was in my hometown.

What people don't always see

Those who serve on our board and as volunteers are just that. They volunteer so that we can go out and play softball. I appreciate them, along with the teams and coaches who make it all possible.

Just for Fun

What teammates say

I hope they'd say I'm welcoming and enjoyable to have around. :)

Fun fact

I cycled 545 miles over 7 days from San Francisco to Los Angeles as part of AIDSLifeCycle.
