Title: Volunteer - Exercise Science

Grew up in San Diego and played baseball for 15 years. During that time, I was exposed to many great coaches and talented teammates that laid the foundation for the coach I am today. 

I have been married to my wife for 30 years and we have two successful young adult daughters.  

Having only daughters, coaching softball was an easy decision. I have 18 plus years of softball coaching experience. Beginning at the recreational level, moving to elite travel programs and then private hitting and fielding instruction. 

Coaching and watching my youngest daughter’s journey to D1 college softball, I have firsthand experience of the process and commitment it takes to play at the next level. 

My hopes while coaching here at Mesa are to help these young athletes build confidence, improve their softball skill set and of course have fun!
