Brandon's journey in baseball is one of perseverance and dedication. Growing up in Friday Harbor, WA, he developed a passion for the game at a young age, playing alongside his twin brother. His natural talent and hard work quickly became evident as he made his high school varsity team as a freshman and earned 1st Team All-Conference honors in both his junior and senior years.

Brandon continued to excel on the field, earning a spot at Abilene Christian University, where he played for four years. During his senior year, he stepped into the role of closer, leading the team in strikeouts per inning pitched—a testament to his skill and competitive drive. His performance earned him a draft pick in the 27th round by the Colorado Rockies, and he went on to play professionally for three years. Unfortunately, an injury cut his career short, but his love for the game never faded.

Now, as a coach, Brandon’s mission is to pass on the lessons he’s learned throughout his career.

“Ultimately, my goal is to teach the next generation of baseball players the mindset, techniques, and skills necessary to pursue their dreams. I want to show them that success is only achieved through hard work, dedication, and a true passion for the game. Additionally, I strive to provide a coaching style that not only helps them grow as players but also as young men, both on and off the field."

Adrian grew up in Los Angeles where he discovered the dedication, discipline, and passion that baseball demands. He had the privilege to play infield and outfield at the University of Hawaii, Hilo where he learned the importance of perserverence. Now, teaching kids the game he loves has become his greatest passion.

"My focus is on helping young athletes not only improve their skills, but also grow as individuals, guiding them to reach their full potential both on and off the field."

Peter comes from a small town in Washington State and a high school that sees very few kids go on to play college sports. Much of his experience has come from club baseball played in the summertime at the high school and collegiate levels. His playing career was cut short his sophomore year of college due to an elbow injury requiring Tommy John surgery.

"My goal as a coach, I believe to be very simple: I want to help young, eager athletes maximize their full potential as individuals; both in and outside of athletics. Whether or not you become a professional athlete; you must have humility in success, and a relentless desire to compete yet again when faced with failure. I want to give all my players the tools to help them continue to grow to become respectful and coachable student athletes from the time they step into the program, to well after they leave."
