Baseball 1979-1981

Known as "Chief" to almost everyone, he produced two solid seasons for the IHCC baseball team, culminating in his being named to the all-tournament team at the JUCO World Series his sophomore season.  He was named a first-team All-American that year after batting .400 and setting new school records for homers (14) and RBIs (62).  One of a number of recruits who came to Indian Hills from Aberdeen, S.D., his hometown, he was also chosen for the all-region and all-sub-regional teams after his sophomore campaign.  As a freshman, Chief hit .308 with 30 RBIs and was selected to the all sub-regional squad.  He was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 1981 MLB Draft and played three years of professional baseball.  Since ending his playing career, Chief has had a long career in the professional ranks, including a stint as the scouting director of the San Diego Padres. He is currently an advance scout for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
