"So fun learning to punch and elbow. My arms got toned and I felt good. We even added some practical self-defense with the Muay Thai.

I’ve been deeply involved in baseball for 18 years, playing alongside my three brothers, all of whom competed at the collegiate level. I was honored to be selected for the USA Northern California regional team and played for the nationally ranked Zoots Baseball program. In high school, I earned First Team All-League honors, and I went on to become a two-way player at Pomona-Pitzer, where I helped lead our team to its first-ever NCAA Division III World Series appearance. Now a Pomona-Pitzer graduate, I’m passionate about giving back to the game by teaching, mentoring, and helping grow the next generation of players—both on and off the field.

"Coach Ben was really helpful on improving my skills and getting me game ready. He was also really fun and cared about us and our team!
