I have been around the game of baseball most of my life and I am still learning more about it every year. I have been coaching at the high school level for 15 years, with the last 9 years in the Burnsville High School baseball program. I currently serve as a varsity assistant coach and an infield coach for the varsity and junior varsity teams. In the offseason, I also run a pitching and catching clinic, and help with a hitting clinic, for youth baseball players in the Burnsville area.
