I was fortunate growing up on the farm. My parents were very understanding and backed me up all the way. They understood how important sports were to me.

In many ways, this is like the child growing up and taking care of its parents.

When I was growing up, my parents said to go to college and get a good job and then go try this. I didn't do that. I struggled for 10 years. My best advice is go to college and study for a trade or career, that is always something you can fall back on.

It's awesome. My parents have sacrificed so much for me. Growing up, they've basically been driving us back and forth to different sporting events. I feel like they didn't have a life, because it was all about us.

Both my parents love jazz, and while growing up they took me to hear it live all the time, which cemented my interest in it,

We're growing up, and we've got growing pains,
