About Me:
I currently coach at Palm Beach State College and work with outfielders and hitters. I played one year at Franklin & Marshall College, and 3 years at Oberlin College. I was the Starting Center Fielder my last 2 seasons, and Leadoff Hitter in my Senior season, as well as a Team Captain. I was also voted Defensive Player of the Year at Oberlin College in my Senior Season. I played in the South Florida Collegiate League, the Dairyland College League in Wisconsin, and the New York Collegiate Baseball League in Upstate New York. I am aspiring to play professional baseball and have been training at Cressey Sports Performance in Palm Beach Gardens since graduation at the end of May. Learning from professional coaches and professional players has expanded my knowledge of the swing and the game.
How I can help you improve your game:
My experience working with hitters and outfielders at the college level and seeing major improvements with my players, as well as my extensive knowledge of hitting that I have gained during my college career and aspiring pro career, has enabled me to develop a good eye and understanding of the baseball swing. I have been able to help players become more consistent at the plate in-game, and have been able to help players with lunging issues, using the ground correctly, as well as posture issues. I have helped players learn how to backspin the baseball properly, which has helped unlock power to all fields.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
On the hitting side, I like to start with swings off the tee to see how a player's body moves and what kind of ball flight they get. Based on what I see, I will implement a few drills that will help to correct swing flaws in a player. We will use these drills in flips, darts, and then eventually we will go to batting practice, where we will try to get these drills to translate to the normal swing. I also like to get an understanding of the player's mental approach at the plate, and learning how to anticipate what a pitcher is throwing, and also learning how a player should use their strengths and weaknesses.
On the fielding side, I will implement a throwing program if the player wants, as I believe arm accuracy and arm strength are really important and undervalued aspects of defense. If the player does not want to throw, that is perfectly fine. Regardless, I can hit fungos and work on routes and throwing to bases (if the player wants).
Career summary and accomplishments:
I played 1 year at Franklin & Marshall College as a two-way player as an OF/RHP. I transferred to Oberlin College in the second semester of my Sophomore Year and became an Outfielder only. I became the starter in Center Field in my Junior Year and held that position for two years until graduation. I became our Leadoff Hitter in my senior season as well as Team Captain and was voted Defensive Player of the Year by the team. In my senior season I had a 20-game on-base streak to start the season, led our team in runs scored, and was tied for 2nd in the conference in triples.

What athletes and parents should know about me:
I want to help you as a player or your son to become the best player they can be. I have helped a lot of former teammates with their swings, as well as helped my current college players not only have success in practice, but in the game where it matters most. I will use video to help analyze swings and defensive actions and will work on the mental side of the game as well as the physical side of the game. I believe that it is important to work hard and be consistent to become the best high school/college/professional player that one can be because baseball is a game with a lot of highs and lows, and the ability to be consistent regardless of the result is how progress is made.

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
