I am a dedicated Baseball Professional with a deep commitment to the mental and physical long-term development of my players.
I emphasize the importance of proper technique, conditioning, and injury prevention. By focusing on long-term development, I aim to enhance my players' skills, knowledge, endurance, and overall performance.
As a passionate coach, I work to build strong relationships with my athletes. I encourage open communication, and I value the unique qualities and strengths that each player brings.
I aim to instill values such as discipline, teamwork, and perseverance, which positively impacts my players' lives both now and in the future.
Triple Play Baseball & Softball Training Facility was founded due to wanting to share my work ethic, knowledge, love for the game, and experience in developing players on and off the field.
I've been on the ball field my entire life, from being a standout youth player playing in top tournaments around the US to being the top prospect at multiple colleges when playing high school ball.
In 2012 at Shiloh High School in Snellville GA, I was 1st team All-County for Gwinnett County, selected to be on the All-Region team, and in the top 50 players in Georgia.
In 2013 I was selected to the Senior Gwinnet County team, set the record for the most doubles in a single season, and had a career average of .457.
I graduated from Georgia Gwinnett College in 2018 with my bachelor’s in criminology where I played baseball for all 4 years. I was a NAIA First Team All-American in 2017, 2018 NAIA world series semifinalist and received an All-American honorable mention in the NAIA the same year. I held 10 All-Time Records for GGC; including games started with 207, At-Bats with 720, stolen bases with 142 and more.
After I graduated, I started my career in coaching as the Head Infield Coach with Briar Cliff University and graduated there with a Masters in Sports Management in 2020.
I have also coached collegiate summer league teams, high school teams, and travel ball teams. I have found success in the win column and getting the most out of my players at multiple levels. I encourage development by bringing great energy to the field & cages every day. I love baseball to its core and it shows in my coaching abilities.
I’ve been around baseball since I was a little kid and spent fifteen years out on the diamond.
After taking a break at nineteen to concentrate on schooling, I missed the game every single day. Coming back to the field to coach at Shiloh High School reminded me how much I love helping young athletes grow. I've spent years mastering how to play catcher and first base, so I can help your kids with the technical side of defense.
As a contact hitter, I know how to help players find their swing and build up the mental toughness they need to feel ready and excited for game day. I have pride in myself with my ability at being able to coach any player at any age and skill level how to play the game.
I’m a collegiate baseball player and hitting instructor currently playing outfield at Georgia Gwinnett College.
I work with young athletes to develop more complete and confident baseball players. My lessons focus on hitting mechanics, approach, contact, power development, athleticism, and overall performance. I also make it a priority to help each player understand why they are making certain adjustments instead of simply going through drills.
My goal is to take the knowledge and experience I’ve gained throughout my playing career and make it simple, practical, and applicable for the next generation of players.
Throughout my college career, I’ve established myself as a high-level offensive player, earning 2× NJCAA All-American honors, NAIA All-American honors, Conference MVP, and Texas Collegiate League All-Summer Team honors.
Over my collegiate career, I’ve produced a .418 career average, 36 home runs, 204 RBIs, and 52 stolen bases, bringing years of experience competing and succeeding at the college level.

COACH
These days I pour all my energy into coaching as a varsity assistant at Peachtree Ridge and leading the Atlanta Vipers 2034 team, and developing young athletes all around Georgia.
I’m all about high energy, sharp fundamentals, and building your softball IQ so you can step onto the field with total confidence. Whether you’re a parent looking for structured growth for your daughter or an athlete ready to work hard, I'm the softball coach that can truly create visible and measurable development.
My journey through softball has taken me from being a 3x All-County and 2x All-State player at North Gwinnett to competing in the NJCAA World Series and earning All-American honors at Southeast Missouri State.
I have a passion for baseball and have a proven track record of success to showcase this passion and excitement.
As a standout pitcher, I was named the 6A Region 8 Pitcher of the Year in 2021 during my high school career at Winder-Barrow Highschool. Later that year I graduated attended East Mississippi Community College; in 2022 I transferred to Pensacola State. By 2023, my skills were further recognized when I was selected as an All-Star Pitcher in the competitive Florida Collegiate League.
With a solid foundation in athletics and a commitment to excellence, I bring leadership, teamwork, and a winning mentality, and the dedication to transfer that knowledge to youth athletes.
