Despite this, he’s excited to go to Mineral Area College to study general education then continuing to Northwestern to get a degree in agronomy and agribusiness; on the path to become an agronomist.

Cody Kennedy is the baseball coach for Frazier and has known him for around four years now. Kennedy said Frazier is very dependable and isn’t afraid to put in hard work. Kennedy also explained that his favorite quality of Frazier is “he is always willing to lend a hand and help someone out when they need it.”

Drew Thorne is one of Frazier's close friends. He declared they’ve played baseball together, even when Frazier was homeschooled. Thorne’s favorite memory with Frazier is “riding around with him on top of the side-by-side in the field, trying to run over David.”

Thorne described him as very respectful, kind and academically inclined. His hope for Frazier is that he achieves all of his passions and does well in life.
