Career Bio |
I started coaching youth travel ball while finishing up my last year of pro ball. We have built up an organization that helps train all ages from youth to college. We have had the pleasure of helping many players reach their dreams of playing baseball at the next level. We have sent numerous players to the collegiate level and even helped some get drafted. I am also a varsity high school coach with Marina in Huntington beach. I am also a Private Personal Training both as a baseball instruction and a Certified Fitness trainer through NCSF. My passion has always been to help others reach their highest level of potential and allow players to play at the next level. I have seen personally what this game can do and how it can transform players as it helps prepare them for the rest of their lives as they make it to the highest level they can play. It’s an honor to be a part of the process that gives players an opportunity they never thought they would be able to reach. Guiding families through the recruiting process as well as make sure their players continue to develop in a fashion that meets college recruiting requirements is the most satisfying way, I can give back to the game that has given me everything.
I was a 2 sport 3-year letterman for both football and baseball, earning all-Conference honors in both sports and making the Orange Country North South all-star team in baseball. I got recruited to play both football and baseball, but I knew I had a better chance of playing baseball at a professional level. I turned down football scholarships to play baseball, continuing my education at Cypress College winning a state championship in 2013 while getting my A.A. in Business Administration. Cypress helped me get recruited to Lindsay Wilson college on a ninety percent scholarship. From there I transferred, doing my own recruiting, to Chapman University where they were able to help get grants up to seventy percent of tuition for good academic grades throughout high school and college. While finishing my collegiate playing career at chapman and I earned my B.A. in Business Management After that I was able to play Independent Professional Baseball for the next 3 years.
