Hi! I’m a former D1 pitcher with a passion for helping the next generation of players find their rhythm on the mound. I played my high school ball at O'Dea, where I was named Metro League Pitcher of the Year and set the school record for the lowest ERA in a single season. After a major injury, I had to work my way back to play five successful seasons at the University of Portland. That experience taught me everything I know about mechanics, recovery, and staying positive when the game gets tough. Whether you are just picking up a ball for the first time or looking to sharpen your skills for high school, I’m here to help you build confidence and have fun while doing it. Let’s get out there! I specialize in pitching and infield defense, but can also coach hitting. I love teaching kids of all ages at any skill level!
"Exceptional coaching! My son really enjoyed it and improved his skills.
