Born and raised in O'Fallon, IL (15 minutes east of St. Louis). Married to my wife Andrea and have two twin boys, Kannon and Keegan. To say that we are involved in sports is an understatement. I played basketball , football and was an all-state baseball player in high school. I earned a baseball scholarship to Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. Once my playing days were over, I immediately got into the coaching side of things with baseball. I wanted to give back to the game I love and took so much from by coaching high school and youth kids. I have been coaching for baseball almost 30 years now starting with American Legion baseball and then at O'Fallon Twp. High School for over 20 years. Coaching kids is my passion. Joining Vertical Raise was a no brainer for me. It is a chance to continue to work with teams, clubs and young people to help them achieve goals through fundraising. The opportunity to provide a service of raising the most possible dollars all while putting time back in a coaches or club sponsors day is a great thing being a coach myself. We pride ourselves on the best-in-class fundraising platform and customer service. Please feel free to contact me directly if we can be of service or to get more information on what we can do for your program.
