I've always wanted to be the best in the world as a baseball player, so when I started to think about opening a business, it was with that mindset.

I think I've earned a certain level of respect, based on my accomplishments and my consistency.

I'm a very routine-oriented guy.

I've made mistakes, I've misspoke, I am sure I will again sometime, but that happens, that's part of being human in my book. I'm OK with that. I've never done it maliciously, ever.

There's not a long track record of people leaving professional sports to become a software developer.

Have I said dumb things? Absolutely, who hasn't? But I have never backed away from being called out on something I did or said wrong.

I've got a wife, four kids, a business, and a baseball career.
