PLAYED BASEBALL
- I played ball in South Florida through high school. I was lucky to play varsity ball all four years. After high school, though I had a couple of small offers, I chose to go to the University of Florida to challenge myself academically. I have coached several age groups in NE Florida at VBA, CP and as an assistant for Mill Creek Academy’s JV middle school team.
COACHING PHILOSOPHY
It all starts with the fundamentals. If you learn those skills correctly, it sets you up for success later on. Baseball gets competitive really early. And although everyone likes to win, it is important at the end of the day to remember that baseball is a game. Kids should enjoy being on the field with their teammates, smiling, competing and playing the greatest game there is.
FAVORITE TEAM
My mom is a Brooklyn native and I grew up in South Florida pre Marlins…..Go Yankees!!
FAVORITE MEMORY COACHING OR PLAYING
