About Me

I am a former collegiate baseball player with a strong track record of athletic and academic achievement across multiple levels of competition. I began my career at Edison High School, where I earned Offensive MVP honors and was selected to the All-Sunset League team.

I continued at Orange Coast College, receiving All-Orange Empire Conference recognition before earning a Division I scholarship to Houston Baptist University. At Houston Baptist, I was named to the Southland Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll and inducted into the Chi Alpha Sigma National Honor Society, recognizing excellence both on the field and in the classroom.

I later completed my collegiate career at Indiana University Southeast, where I competed in the NAIA World Series and earned a Masters of Science in Management from Indiana University School of Business.

In addition to my playing career, I bring over five years of experience training hitters in both baseball and softball, helping athletes develop their skills and perform at a higher level.
