A Proud Father

Matt Gagnon shared a personal update about his son Alec, a high school senior and aspiring college baseball player. Alec’s journey began at 12, aiming for Major League Baseball, but Gagnon emphasized the importance of setting realistic goals. Alec’s breakout moment was a game-winning triple in a regional title game. Over the summer, they visited showcases and camps, leading to multiple college offers. Alec chose the University of Dallas for its high academic standards, cultural fit, and a potential double major in economics and finance, with a future master’s program. Gagnon expressed pride in his son’s achievement and maturity.
