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.
