11U Coach

Played locally at Christian Brothers High School and competed for the Division 1 title in '88.  Played Post 61 for summer-ball.  After CB went to AR for a year before transferring to Sac City.  Was part of the 91 team that only lost 3 games all year.  Unfortunately, 2 of the losses came in States.  After City attended Sacramento State on a baseball scholarship. Completed my education with a degree in Communications. 

 

I have coached many levels of baseball and softball from little league to high school and plenty of travel ball over my years.   My main drive is to find a way for players to enjoy the game and learn to play it.  I coach for the love of the game.

 

 Married with 4 children all who are active in sports.
