Additional Information
Baseball is my life, my passion, and something I have studied and dedicated my life to. I've been an assistant coach for 9 years and have learned from some of the best head coaches out there. I know it's my time to take the lead into being a head coach and I cannot think of a better school than Saint Martin's. Being a native from the area, I attended Saint Martin's camps growing up, coached them after retiring as a player, the year Ken Garland passed away. I attended classes there, my mother is an alumni. Saint Martin's has been in my life from the beginning. I know I can make Saint Martin's a winning program. I have plenty of connections with coaching in the northwest area as well as around the country. I'm a leader, quick learner, and have a strong stance on integrity.
