Excited to share that I will be joining the TLU softball staff as the hitting coach this spring. Can’t thank Head Coach Wade Wilson enough for the opportunity to join him and an already incredible staff and team. Time to get after it chasing down another National Championship
Made some major adjustments and improvements at the Bomber Performance Lab. Pretty fired up at how it turned out. Really hard not to get better in here!!!

Proud coach this morning in our Texas Bombers Gold 16u squad. This young first year 16u group fell down 6-0 and battled back but ultimately fell 7-6 in double ITB. This group was 1 Base hit away from playing in back 2 back National Championships after winning it last year at 14u.
Super proud coach…My girls Texas Bombers Gold 18u goes wire to wire with a 10-0 record to win the Texas Fastpitch League summer championship. The scorching heat was nuts, but they never let that slow them down and competed at a level that was on another level.
