I was born July 24th 1968.  I grew up in Michigan with my parents two brothers and my sister.  In high school i played golf, basketball and baseball where I earned all-state honors as a pitcher.  I started playing league ball when I was 17  In 1988 I moved to New York when I was 19 and that is when I started playing tournament ball for Stan Quinn who I have played for off and on for 27 years.  I have been fortunate to be on many good teams including Blair's siding, New York Connection, T.J. Ferras and Rochester Athletic Club. 

 My career highlight was in 2004 while I was with T.J. Ferra's, we won the World's and went 63-7 on the year winning 10 out of 12 tournaments. I have finished in the top 10 at world's 9 times.  Winning it in 2004 where I was the MVP and taken 2nd in 2010 where I was the defensive MVP.  I have also won 3 north east nationals, 8 state titles and 35 N.I.T.'s which I was the MVP of 9 of those.  Also in 2011 we won the PIF which is Canada's biggest tournament.

 I would like to thank my brother Todd who spent endless hours pitching BP for me.  Stan Quinn who gave me my start in softball and to the sponsors who have made it possible to travel and play against the best competition.
