Years Coaching
I’ve been coaching baseball for the past nine seasons,
working with age groups ranging from 8U to 13U. Over the last two years, I’ve
had the pleasure of coaching the 2016 age group and am excited to continue with
them into the 2026 season. Last year was a memorable one—our team captured
three tournament championships, including the 9U “A” OBAs in Tecumseh, which
was a true highlight.
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside
some incredible coaches who have greatly influenced my development. I’ve
learned a tremendous amount from them and continue to stay in touch, regularly
discussing coaching philosophies, strategies, and shared experiences. These
ongoing conversations help me grow as a coach and bring fresh perspectives to
each season.
Background & Experience
As a player, I came up through the Tecumseh Rangers travel
program, where I won an OBA Championship. I later joined the Tecumseh Thunder,
playing from Midget through Senior levels and earning two more OBA titles. I
played catcher throughout my career, a position that gave me a strategic
understanding of the game—something I’ve carried into my coaching. Tecumseh
Baseball has been a meaningful part of my life since childhood, and coaching
allows me to give back while helping young players develop a love for the game.
Development Philosophy
Baseball should be fun. I believe in creating an environment
that balances development, competitiveness, and enjoyment. Success comes when
every player grows and contributes toward the team’s goals. Our focus is on
building skills, fostering teamwork, and making sure each player feels valued
and engaged.
Outside of Baseball
Outside the diamond, I’m a proud father of three young boys
who are all active in sports. Whether it’s at the ballpark, the rink, or on
some kind of adventure, I’m always on the move with them. I’ve been a lifelong
Detroit Tigers fan though I was only three when they won the World Series, I’m
hopeful they’ll bring another one home soon!
Team Mission Statement
Our mission is to put the team above ourselves, compete with
heart, support one another on and off the field, and chase victory together.
