The subject brings a well-rounded background in collegiate baseball as both a former student-athlete and coach, with experience across Division I programs and elite summer leagues. His playing career included time at California State University, San Bernardino and Grossmont College, where he developed a strong foundation in the game. He later gained extensive professional development experience as a Student Manager at Louisiana State University from 2023 to 2025, working closely with pitchers, catchers, and infielders while assisting in daily practice planning, bullpen operations, player evaluations, and scouting reports. During his time at LSU, he played a key role in official visits that resulted in a top-ranked national recruiting class, contributed to transfer portal evaluations, created defensive positioning cards, and supported camps, fundraisers, and recruiting operations that helped lead to a 2025 National Host Selection.

Previously, from 2021 to 2023, he served on staff at Arizona State University, working under Willie Bloomquist and Mike Goff with infielders and catchers, assisting with opponent scouting reports, bullpen operations, and player rehabilitation. His coaching experience includes time with the Walnut Creek Crawdads of the California Collegiate League, where he worked with hitters and infielders, coached third base, and helped lead an offense in 2023 that hit .290, averaged 8.77 runs per game, and produced 73 doubles, 34 home runs, and 84 stolen bases, while also assisting players in the transfer portal. He also completed an internship with the Santa Barbara Foresters, contributing to scouting, statistical tracking, video operations for player development and recruiting, and organizational fundraising efforts. Academically, he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business (Sports Business) from the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University and a Master of Science in Sport Management from the Pinkie Gordon Lane Graduate School at Louisiana State University.
