I played HS baseball at Driscoll Catholic and Addison Trail HS. I was a 4-sport athlete in HS. After HS I played junior hockey in WI, IL, AZ, and NV. After playing juniors, I went to College at Robert Morris College in Chicago and played D1 ACHA hockey. I was a goaltender for them and am in their Athletic Hall of Fame. I have been coaching sports since I was 19, and coaching travel baseball since 2017. I have been working with M360 since 2022 and a part of their coaching staff since 2023.
