“I find the greatest joy helping players fall in love with the game”
BIO
Baseball has been a passion of mine since as long as I can remember. I grew up playing little league at Ladera Little League and moved on to playing high school at Hamilton High. During high school I was selected to play in Dodger Stadium twice, as a city all star. The smell of the grass and the feeling of the dirt under my cleats as I ran out there to my position, was an experience I will always remember.
My college journey started at Benedict College, under the most winningest coach of the Schools 150 year history, Coach Selwyn Young. During my 2011 season at Benedict, I was apart of the team to break the NCAA stolen base record. A lot of the base stealing strategies I teach today have come from my time playing ball at Benedict.
After college I pursued playing professional baseball. receiving my first spring training invite felt like I had won the lottery! My time playing professional baseball has gained me accolades such as Hitter of the Year, Defensive Player of the year, along with a Championship.
Baseball will always be a great passion of mine. I will always be apart of it in some way. Today, I find the greatest joy helping players fall in love with the game. It is such a rewarding experience to help guide an aspiring player to reach their goals on the field.
