Throughout his playing career, he has played for many notable coaches and trained with numerous top-level ball players throughout the country.
During his high school career, he was recruited by several D1 and D2 baseball programs across the country and was offered various scholarships.

While rehabbing he began playing club baseball with the local competitive league and finished out college playing for them. In his freshman year summer, he came back to Lake Oswego to be a Player Coach for the Lake Oswego Legions Team. Upon graduation, he took a year off to travel the world, spend time with family, and mentally prepare himself for the corporate world.
