What do you like to do when you are not at the ball field? I enjoy college athletics (especially basketball and tennis) and unique festivals here in the Triangle, hiking the beautiful forests in the area, or playing trivia with friends.
What is your favorite part of a Miracle League game? Why? My favorite part is the joy you see on players faces when they take the field. I also love seeing their development throughout the season and watching some of our players grow from hitting off the tee to hitting live pitching. One of my favorite highlights was seeing a player who started out not interested in being out in the field be coached up by great buddies to become someone who tried to field every ground ball and throw them to first base.

What is your favorite part of a Miracle League game? Why?Seeing players of all different abilities performing their best, having fun with sports, and making new friends with their buddies! It’s really sweet to see the whole staff and team be supportive of other players, and if you’ve been to a few games, you know how heartwarming it is. And a highlight? One of our players on the Pirates has unveiled a new home plate dance/celebration each season – three seasons ago it was the dab, then the griddy, then a bird flapping its wings, and we’ve got with the Sprinkler this season and the fans and players absolutely love it! 😂
