Lafayette College Athletics

As one of the most highly-decorated center fielders in Lafayette history, Conrad was an academic and athletic force. The Columbia, Md. native was a two-time All-Patriot League First-Team selection (2005, 2007) and was named to the Second Team in 2006. During his senior campaign, he was crowned the conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year, a Second Team ABCA All-East Region player and claimed a spot on the All-Patriot League Tournament Team. 

On the diamond, he still holds several Patriot League records, including finishing first in single-season runs scored (75, 2007), second in single-season stolen bases (49, 2007) and fourth in career stolen bases (85). Conrad also paced the league in hits, runs scored and triples that year.

The Math major was honored as a part of the NCAA Tournament All-Regional Team, held in Charlottesville in 2007, finishing third and eighth in the nation for stolen bases and runs scored, respectively. 

Conrad received national attention as a Third Team CoSIDA Academic All-American and listed as a two-time ESPN's The Magazine Academic All-District II First-Team recipient. 

Following graduation, he interned with Bill James' Baseball Info Solutions and coached collegiately at Virginia Military Institute and Eastern Illinois University for three years. During that time he received his master's degree before changing his career path to become an actuary. 

Conrad currently works primarily with pension plans as a consultant and has finished several series of actuarial exams (earning him accolades such as Fellow of the Society of Actuaries, Enrolled Actuary, Fellow of the Conference of Consulting Actuaries, and a Member of the American Academy of Actuaries).

He was able to begin working remotely in 2016, allowing he and his wife, Erin, to sell their house and travel around the country in an RV to various state parks and MLB stadiums for 18 months. They then settled in Erin's hometown of Covington, Va. with their two children, Gideon and Tobias.

Conrad spends his free time with his family, their two cats and a puppy, as well as coaching the boys' baseball and soccer teams. His evenings consist of setting the rosters for his Lafayette group's fantasy baseball league, still going strong since senior year in 2007.
