Began coaching 13-16 year-olds in 1990. Appearing in 7 World Series and winning 2 World Championships during the summer seasons over a 30-year span. Also started coaching at the high school level from 1995-Present, winning 8 Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) Championships and 2 Hawaii State titles (HHSAA) at Maui High School and Baldwin High School.
Started my college baseball career at Cerritos College in 1982-1984 as a pitcher, playing for Assistant Coach, George Horton. Went on to pitch for Cal State Fullerton for two seasons under the legendary and late Coach Augie Garrido.
Coaching allows me the opportunity to guide and mentor these young men, building relationships for a lifetime. This game is filled with life lessons and is unique in that failure is a driving force to success. Perseverance, resilience, and intelligence are prevalent characteristics one must have to be successful in this sport. I strive to fulfill their minds with a psychological approach, which will ultimately lead them to a successful life after baseball as well.
Married to my wife, Michelle, for 31 years. We reside on the island of Maui, Hawaii and have 2 children, our oldest, Krista, who just graduated from college in San Diego, and Adam, who presently attends college and plays baseball in California.
