Other Family Members: "I have four brothers and zero sisters. Three of them are older and the other is my twin. My family is big in sports, three of the four were multi sport athletes. One had played both baseball and football in college. My mom and dad were both all-state athletes in multiple sports in high school. Also, my dad had played professional baseball for the Montreal Expos. All of my family’s success in athletics, has really made me work hard to become a successful athlete today, mainly because I had always looked up to my older brothers and wanted to be just like them."
