My Students

I am one of a group of coaches that have the privilege to coach high school baseball to an amazing group of young men between the ages of 14 to 18. These baseball players are constantly working on becoming better players and people everyday.

Baseball: Increases Coordination, Teaches Working with a Team, and Baseball is Timeless!

These young men are a special group of kids that work extremely hard at everything that they do. We want them to excel not only in the classroom but on the diamond by becoming superior teammates and exceptional leaders. Our students come from working-class families. Many of these families come from the fishing industry or serve our country in the military.

My Project

When our project is funded, it will allow our team to help get through the Hurricane Florence recovery of our baseball field quickly! The hurricane ruined our equipment and with your help we will be prepared to start the season with a well practiced team.

With this new equipment our Bulldogs will be prepared to start the season!

With new baseball equipment we will have the opportunity to practice in safe baseball cages. With your support we will also have a chance to replace the bases and pitching rubber that have been ruined by the hurricane. We just want an opportunity to have the right equipment to be successful!
