Coaching
I have played baseball throughout my education until I completed my degree at College of Marin, and the game has shaped me as a human and provided me with many of the skills and attributes that I have found most valuable in the workplace and life. I now have discovered a passion for coaching baseball and recently finished my first season assistant coaching at St. Helena High School which is a role I hope to return to next spring.
