Baseball Coach & Scout
College Recruiting Specialist

FOR OVER 3500 STUDENT ATHLETES!

The world of sports is my passion, as I started at the age of 5. In high school, I was involved with football, basketball and baseball (started varsity my freshman year). I was also a member of the National Honor Society and a Scholar Athlete Award winner. I was a collegiate athlete for football at the DIII and 1AA levels. Played one year College Baseball and was a member of the Empire State Games (NY State HS Olympics) for baseball.

As someone whose family was new to the process (30 years ago) and did not have the best recruiting experience, it is awesome to be able to help student athletes make their dreams come true. To be part of that process now on the other end and to see student-athletes have the opportunity to play at the next level has been very rewarding for me. Being able to talk with and help student-athletes from all over the country, I could not ask for anything better!

For 15 years, I was a college softball coach where was recognized as Coaching Staff of the Year. Prior to my time as a collegiate coach, I was also a middle school counselor, and I coached baseball and softball at the high school level. I was also a travel softball coach in Georgia and Florida . I'm originally from upstate New York, and I have had the great fortune of coaching in New York, Georgia, South Carolina and West Virginia, and I now call Tampa, Florida, my home.

"If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride – and never quit – you’ll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards."
