Brian has coached at NPYL since 2020, coaching one Instructional season, two Rookie spring seasons, one Rookie fall season, two 7U All-Stars seasons, and two 8U Blaze seasons. Brian will be taking on our first-ever 8U Dragons baseball team in 2022/2023. Brian is also currently on the Board of Directors at NPYL, serving as the Sponsorship Director. 

Brian has three kids, two of which are now playing in the Dragons baseball and softball system. "I'm excited that New Palestine now has a full-time travel team for local players to get to enjoy a higher-level of competition together. I really enjoy teaching the game of baseball to young players and seeing them play a sound, fundamental game that is able to compete with any opponent they face. This game teaches them personal accountability, teamwork, and perseverance, among other important life-lessons. I can't wait to see how the 2023 8U Dragons team develops,” said Brian.
