About Me Like many ballplayers, I started young with tee ball but where I truly grew and refined my game was during my five years of college baseball. I pitched at Fullerton College for two years, then continued at Vanguard University (D2), and recently wrapped up a year as a Graduate Assistant Coach at Cal Baptist University (D1). Being part of multiple teams across different levels, I bring to the table a well-rounded perspective on the game. I’ve experienced a variety of coaching styles and systems, and I’ve taken the best from each to build an approach that works both as a player and now as a coach. Why I Coach I love helping players who are hungry to improve. Whether you're just getting started or chasing the next level, I bring a player-first mindset focused on development, confidence, and results. Seeing players develop, improve, and ultimately succeed in their baseball careers is my desire and gives me fulfillment. How I Coach My coaching style blends structured drills, practical knowledge, and the right mindset to help players grow in every area of the game whether it’s fielding, pitching, or hitting. I focus on breaking things down in a way that makes sense, giving athletes tools they can actually use in game situations. Every session is tailored to the player’s needs, with a balance of mechanics, mental approach, and repetition to build confidence and consistency. Where I Coach I typically offer private, 1-on-1 lessons at local parks and baseball fields throughout Orange County.

I’ve spent 19 years playing baseball, and the game has shaped who I am today. As an MLB Certified Agent, I represent both amateur and professional players, giving me a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed at every level. For the past 7 years, I’ve been coaching and providing private lessons to athletes who want to elevate their game. My focus is on helping players reach their full potential, not just on the field, but off it as well. Every session is designed to build confidence, sharpen skills, and develop the mindset needed to compete at the highest level. Baseball is my passion, and I’m committed to sharing that with every player I work with.
