I grew up in a small town in Northern California called Grass Valley. Baseball was ingrained in me essentially from the day that I was born and has been a passion of mine ever since.

I played baseball all throughout high school and college, but after my third shoulder surgery I decided to call it quits on playing and look more toward coaching and helping the next generation of players to grow their passion.

Throughout my baseball career, I had the pleasure of working with coaches such as Reggie Smith and Tom Brunansky. My favorite coach of all time, however, was my old man. I implement coach strategies that I have picked up over the years with the goal of creating a positive and fun learning environment that also challenges and develops players.
