Pre-game rituals
Making sure I get to the game on-time.

Hitting/fielding philosophy
My overall philosophy of playing is to “keep my head in the game” and to have fun. I enjoy the camaraderie and cheering on my MOD Squad teammates!

Sports played as child
Baseball, street hockey.

Baseball position played growing up
Started my career as a pitcher and third baseman. My pitching career ended when I walked 4 batters in a row. Later in my Little League “career” I was moved to first base.

Favorite baseball player growing up
Well, I was a HUGE Met fan. Tom Seaver was probably my favorite player. Since I was a first baseman, I was a big Willie Montanez fan (first baseman for the Mets). I remember that I had chance to meet him when I was 13, which was a big thrill for me…

Goals for the season
Play in as many games as my schedule will allow. And, when I play, to hit the ball hard (and preferably on the ground or line drives).

Off-the field hobbies
Spending time with my family. Playing whiffle ball and street hockey with my 11 year-old son.

Favorite food/tv show/movie/song
I can’t say that I have a favorite food, although I do enjoy Sushi. I enjoy all music, except country. In high school, I listened to lots of Genesis. Today, I enjoy Dave Matthews Band…


Trivia Answer: (b) Vaccines.
