What’s your role at Home Field Instruction?
I am the owner of Home Field Instruction as well as the general manager of the Home Field Elite teams (9 baseball and 5 softball). I primarily handle hitting with all age players but work with high level hitters to get them to the next level. I work with several college players on a regular basis refining their approach to hitting. I love seeing my players around the area and working with each and everyone of them.
Who inspires you?
Bo Schembechler was a coach that greatly inspired me to move forward into coaching. He was tough on his players yet shared a bond of friendship with them that was incredible. That is what I want for my players.
What’s something most people don’t know about you?
I owned and managed a trucking company for 17 years prior to starting Home Field. We had trucks throughout the Midwest and had a major customer located in West Carrollton. I could not drive any of those trucks! That takes a very special talent.
