During my two seasons at Bergen Community College, I made my mark by setting the single-season record for most RBIs and becoming the all-time RBI leader. As one of the top 10 first basemen in JUCO across the country, I earned 3rd Team All-Region honors and was named Garden State Athletic Conference Player of the Week. I also had the privilege of representing Team NJ in the PBR Battle of the Border.
After transferring to Stockton University, I posted a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage and ranked among the top 5 in offensive categories in the conference during the 2020 season, which was unfortunately cut short due to COVID. Additionally, I was scouted by the Cincinnati Reds, which has fueled my passion for helping young athletes excel in the game.
As a four-year varsity starter at Marist High School, I helped lead my team to a state championship and two county championships, setting the school record for most games played without ever missing a single one. I was also part of the Jackie Robinson RBI team that went on to win the World Series.
Following high school, I continued my career at Saint Peter's University, playing for four seasons and participating in multiple professional tryouts after college. Now, as a coach and instructor, I’m dedicated to passing on the knowledge and experiences I’ve gained to the next generation of athletes, helping them grow both on and off the field.
As a former collegiate catcher and semi-pro player, I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the athletes I coach. With over 10 years of coaching experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with players at various levels, focusing on developing their skills both behind the plate and in all aspects of the game. My time as a player and coach has given me a deep understanding of the game’s intricacies, and I’m passionate about sharing that insight to help the next generation of players reach their full potential.
