I began playing baseball when I was eight years old. I played both high school and college. During my collegiate years I also helped train an coach other pitchers. I assisted a Junior College head coach with coaching his pitchers until they found a new pitching coach. I coached all fall and into the winter. I have a very hands on approach, and believe its really important to get player feed back. It's how you know if what I'm doing is working, or if I need to find another way to help a player develop, improve, and succeed.

Sponsored Local Amateur Pro Coach Chris came from Sacramento CA and brought his energy and skills with him! Hailing from a storied family of educators - Chris was born to be a leader and role model.

"Wow, Chris's lesson truly stood out because he took the time to understand my goals, which I appreciated quite a bit. I felt much more confident in my ball control and although I still need to work on improving my top spin, I'm optimistic about applying what I learned. I’d highly recommend Chris for a lesson that will leave you better by the time you leave.
