About Me:
I was a junior college all conference player
Transferred to San Francisco state and was 2022 pitcher of the year
In 2023 I transferred to cal state Bakersfield .
I have over 385 college innings pitched with nearly 300 career strikeouts while sitting in the low 90’s at 91-96 mph on my fastball.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help player by going over mechanical deficiencies, creating throwing programs, creating lifting programs, working on the mental side of the game, and adding in a better routine for players.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Every session is unique to the player but I like starting the session on on how they warm up and targeting points of improvement from that point on. Creating the best band and plyo routine, followed by a catch play routine or bullpen.
I also make sure to incorporate a good post throw routine so the athlete can recover and be strong for their next throwing session.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I am currently a pitching coach and interning at the Chapman Baseball Compound in Irvine.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was the coaches at the Chapman compound because they love the idea of getting better and doing it the right way!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I would like parents to know that I love the game of baseball and that’s the number one reason I want to coach and why I played at such a high level. I was never the strongest, tallest, or any of those things. Yet my love for the game pushed me to be very competitive at a high level.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
