Excited to announce I've been hired as skipper for Onalaska baseball. Grateful for the opportunity to get back to work in the C2BL wearing purple and gold in Gritville, USA.
Everybody get yourself a hot dog and do the Logger Rumble!

Longview was home for 5 years. The people and the grit of the region have stayed in my soul ever since.
Hoping the Cowlitz baseball community can enjoy a clinic with proceeds benefiting kids who lost their fathers in last week’s tragedy.
