Playing and Coaching Career:

Like most of you, I began my baseball career playing for the Longmont Baseball League. I attended Mead High School, played for the HS baseball team, and graduated in 2015. I continued my career after HS at Dakota State University as an infielder, catcher, and pitcher during my first two years, later focusing solely on pitching. In the summer of 2016, after my first year at DSU, I served as a player assistant at Mead High School, later progressing to a varsity assistant at Madison HS (SD). After obtaining my degree, I moved back home and started giving private baseball lessons in Longmont and surrounding areas. My coaching career includes roles as the head coach for Sioux Falls West and, most recently, as the pitching coach at Flatirons Academy since 2023.

Philosophy:

My coaching philosophy emphasizes finding and improving each player's unique talents and strengths. I prioritize athleticism and adaptability, encouraging players to achieve consistent results through various methods rather than rigid mechanical positions. Additionally, I place significant importance on the game's mental aspects, advocating for a solid, adaptable approach regardless of the player's position on the field.
