"My coaching philosophies are always being fine-tuned, and are not geared to make every player the same as the last. Researching and constantly looking for the best methods of baseball-specific conditioning, focusing on the small details of  "playing the game", not just the mechanics, has been the secret to success in the years of coaching the players I’ve had. Living by the coaching ethics of "Instruct, Inform, and Inspire" has greatly helped me in continuing my coaching goals of improving player’s skills to achieve next level success." Married to his wife Dena and has three children, Devin, Austin and Sienna.
