Baseball is a sport that has withstood the test of time. It remains America’s pastime because it is not only a game of speed, stamina, coordination, and strength, but also one of intellect, intuition, and mental toughness. Walt Whitman saw baseball’s virtues even in its stages of infancy when he said, “It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.”
Baseball has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past 20 years I have competed on many different levels and have been a part of many championship teams. I carry the love of the game I had as a player with me today, as coach, and aspire to pass it on to those I teach.
In addition to coaching baseball, I’m also the JV basketball coach, I teach English, and run Burbank East dormitory with my wife.
