I have worked privately with a number of players ranging in age from 8-25 years old. Players have come to me that want to prepare for the new season or improve their overall physical health. My experience around the game started with my family, where three members before me played at the professional level and two went on to become scouts for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Oakland Athletics. I understand the game and truly believe the game gives you whatever you put into it. My personal experience is rare and I want to pass it on.

I played for a powerhouse junior college where we were #1 in the country and went on to finish 2nd at the Junior College World Series. Shortly after my time there, I was signed by the Oakland Athletics and had a four year career before injury cut my time short. I understand the game and the importance of hard-work, but most of all I believe the game should be enjoyed.

Since I have worked with players from all skills levels and ages, my sessions will be completely tailored to the player. I was drafted as a short-stop, played professionally as an outfielder and my father played over ten years as a pitcher. My knowledge of the game is not limited to one area. Each player will be evaluated and a personalized plan will be put into place. We will set goals together and I will constantly be implementing new drills so that the player can continue to grow. I have also worked with players who are getting ready for spring training and want to improve on their physical health. I understand the importance of nutrition and taking care of your body. Most of all I want each player to have an understanding of themselves as a player, so together we can get the most out of their potential.
