Born and raised in Southern California, I can say that baseball has been an instrument in my life. As fortunate as I am to say that I've had the opportunity of playing in the MLB, my journey in baseball is far from over. Being blessed to have a loving family and a strong support system is something that I have learned not all can say, as I have found that to be reality, I want to aid where I am able. As my grandmother said to me young, "it takes a village to raise a child," that I believe to be all too true then, now, and forever to come. 

A pretty profound fact. Baseball, is more than a game, its an instrument, its a tool, for me, its life. When its played "properly," it has the design for any player, at any time, to be the HERO, thats what I love about baseball, parlayed with the fact that "the game" does NOT discriminate. It does have RULES that REGULATE, a cohesive effort to congregate, objectify and, incentivize? Join me and our team, in our mission that is best described at HOME PLATE, "You miss 100% of the shots you dont take"-Wayne Gretzky.

My passion for baseball originated early in life through radio broadcasts of games in my grandparents kitchen. The game and personal stories of the players were explained by the great Vin Scully. I actively played baseball during my youth and stopped competitive play in college following a series of injuries. I’ve coached for almost 3 decades now throughout many levels of the game. I was fortunate enough to have been a contracted scout for the Marlins for 4 years after completion of the Major League Baseball Scouting Bureau development program in 2007 and the Reds initial recommendation to attend classes. My connections in the game now continue as a supportive father of a former MLB pitcher, John Lamb, who continues his own personal professional path back to the highest level of competition. My focus on teaching baseball is based on the fundamentals of catch, throw and hit through discipline and structure of practice. The primary focus is to maintain fun during the process of improving skills while playing the game of baseball. I will continue to share my experiences and knowledge to players and families as long as I live.
