I bring over 30 years of coaching experience, from professional ranks to youth development, helping players grow both on and off the field. In 2011, I managed a top-division team in the Italian Baseball League, and earlier in my career, I helped train the 1992 Spanish Olympic Baseball Team. I was honored by the California State Senate for my baseball accomplishments in Northern California.

In high school, I was an average player who finally grew into my body by my senior year. I had an above-average arm and speed, and that year I was drafted in the 6th round by the New York Mets, but I chose to attend junior college to further develop my skills. After hitting .398 as a freshman, I was drafted in the 2nd round by the Atlanta Braves—the moment I truly felt ready to begin my professional career.

​

Coming from a baseball family—my father played in the Yankees and Cubs organizations, and my uncles for the Yankees and White Sox—I was surrounded by experience and guidance. After injuries changed my path, I took a leap and continued my career in Italy, playing three seasons before transitioning into coaching and youth development.

That opportunity opened doors beyond baseball: I appeared in television commercials and modeled in Milan, connecting with my Italian heritage and embracing new experiences that shaped who I am today.
