About Me:
Starting in the high school days, I played varsity as a freshman and was a 2 time All-Regional Shortstop. I was also a Perfect Game All-Regional SS. I played in the Virginia High School All-Star Commonwealth Games and won the championship. I went to Western Kentucky University on a D1 college baseball scholarship. I was an Academic All-Conference USA 2nd baseman my sophomore year and was second team All-Conference USA 2nd baseman my senior after hitting .385 and .410 in conference that season. I was signed out of college to the Pittsburgh Pirates. I played in the minor league farm system with them in 2018-19. During that time I hit .321. I was later signed to an independent professional team called the Lake Erie Crushers of the Frontier League. I was player of the week during the last week of July 2019. I was a .300 career hitter.
How I can help you improve your game:
With the knowledge I have obtained throughout the many years playing at all levels and experience in personal training, I can help someone improve the game in many aspects. Hitting, fielding, throwing, speed, strength, mentally knowing the game, you name it! I have trained with the best players, learned from the best coaches, and trained with the best developmental programs designed. I have used that same proven structure and will teach it to young athletes.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Depending on what we are training on (hitting, fielding, running, etc.) I will push clients to reach their full potential. I understand individual learning is different from person to person. I like to make meaningful connections to understand how each client learns. I am adaptive to that and know how to change the way I say and do things in order to get the most out of anyone i work with. Baseball at the end of the day is a game is meant to be fun! My main goal is to have fun but also have that balance between learning, listening, working, and playing.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Toward the end of my playing career, I started baseball personal training. I worked with kids of all ages. I have personally trained at a facility and freelanced now for 3 years. I have implemented different versions of practice and training routines that I completed myself through out my life including college and professional level plans altered to fit the age group.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I have ever had was my rookie ball manager for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Dave Turgeon. He taught me the most about the game and taught me how to handle business and work. He always had my back and pushed me to be my best even though I may not have had my best on certain days. He knows the time and place to have fun and also when to work. He is a great coach and an even better person.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
What parents should know about me is that I love the game for baseball and have a huge passion for it. I love to have fun with the game and share that with others but I also know when to take it more seriously and work. I am also a type 1 Diabetic and know how to persevere through hardships, challenges, and obstacles. I will give everything I got to achieve the goals set!

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!
