About Me

Heroes:

I grew up watching the great Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame baseball player Kirby Puckett. I loved his positive energy and passion for the game. One of my favorite quotes from him is, "If you believe in yourself, and you work hard, anything, and I'm telling you, anything is possible."My grandfather Norton was also a hero of mine because of his positive attitude and strong work ethic. Growing up and whenever I was at grandpa and grandma's house I felt that he always tried to teach me something important about life.
