Summary
Dynamic camp coach with a proven track record in athlete development, facilitating drills, and fostering teamwork. Committed to preparing athletes for competitive success through tailored training and attention to detail. Experience is where I separate myself from other coaches, as I come from a baseball family. My father played 15 years professionally, 7 years in the minors, while spending the majority of his time in the MLB with the Padres, Twins, and Rockies. My brother is currently in the Giants organization, in his second year, already making it to AAA in Sacramento.
