About
I am a former four-year college baseball player, pitching at Lesley University, where I was a two-time NECC Academic All-Conference selection. I teach 5th grade English, and coach baseball and basketball. I’m certified by the National Pitching Association, spent several years as a college pitching coach, and was Director of Baseball at Sluggers Academy for 3 years.
I enjoy helping students become better, more confident baseball players.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Before beginning instruction, I find out what the student hopes to achieve from the experience. I then have them complete drills that identify their mechanical strengths and weaknesses, which I then you to develop my instructional practice.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have coached teams from 10u through college.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Pick somebody that understands teaching as well as they understand the game. You should also probably pick someone with a sense of humor because playing baseball is something that should be enjoyable.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Why do I want to learn?
What can I do to make myself better?
How can I apply the lessons I learn during a lesson to my own practice at home.
(I'll answer all of these questions at the end of a lesson, but it helps the conversation if you have your own ideas.)
