About
My life has always been about sports, hard work, and pushing beyond limits. I played football at the University of South Florida, where I set the bench press record and helped my team reach as high as the number 2 ranking in the country. Despite an injury that almost ended my career, I trained relentlessly and made my way from the AFL to the New Orleans Saints, proving that persistence is everything.
After my playing days, I discovered a new passion—baseball—through training my son. Working with him rekindled my love for the sport and deepened my commitment to coaching. I realized coaching was about more than just skills; it was about building connections and guiding athletes to be their best.
I founded Elite Factory in downtown Tampa to create a place where athletes of all levels could grow, train, and develop. Whether working with youth players or MLB stars, my goal is to help every athlete unlock their potential, push past their limits, and build the mental toughness needed to succeed on and off the field.
Motivation & Passion
My purpose for coaching is simple: I’m driven to help kids reach their dreams. I’m passionate about serving athletes of all levels, from youth players to professionals, by pushing them beyond their limits and showing them what’s possible through hard work and dedication. My motivation comes from seeing my athletes succeed, knowing that I’ve played a role in their journey to becoming the best versions of themselves. If you’re looking for a coach who will be just as committed to your goals as you are, then I’m the right fit for you.
