About Us
A more accurate label for this section of the Web site would be 'About Me'. I started the Web site in the summer of 2000 after my first year of coaching tee ball. Although the popularity of the site has increased each year, I'm still in the initial phase of building something that I hope some day will be very special. It would be nice to have a staff that could help with this project, but for now it's a one person (part-time at that) business.
As you can see I'm not an ex-big league player or brother of an ex-big league player trying to cash in on a name. I'm someone who had a successful college career and wasn't drafted. It was tough not playing after my senior season when I hit almost .400, but I went to a smaller college and I realized that of the 5 tools that pro scouts are looking for I didn't have 2 and wasn't completely there on a 3rd. Speed or natural power, what I would have given for either.
After graduating from college with a secondary teaching degree, I starting teaching as substitute teacher and coached at the high school level. While looking for a permanent teaching position, I was given a job offer to work as a computer programmer. Since it made financial since at the time, I made the change. I looked back on that decision with a great deal of regret for a long time. I didn't realize at the time how the financial part, that seemed so attractive at the time, would also make it nearly impossible to make the switch back. When I left college, my dream was to coach at the high school level for a few years, then look for an opportunity to coach at the college level and see how far I could go. I was hoping to become a major college coach someday. I spent much of my late 20's looking back at what might have been. It took a few years, but finally I realized that paying too much attention to what might have been is a very unproductive way to live. I made a few changes in outlook and made a necessary job change. I stayed in the computer industry, but made the change to web development. I soon realized that I had found my niche and what a difference doing something you really enjoy can have on all aspects of your life. My dreams still involve baseball, but in a different way. My dream now is to have this Web site become the best resource on the web for youth baseball. That's a broad statement and is refined further in the vision statement, but the core of the statement for me involves helping people. In this case the people are coaches, parents, and players.
