Baseball runs in my veins and let's just say that it's my life. For the past 47 years I've been on the field as either a player, coach or an umpire.

I started umpiring at age 18 to earn some extra money. Thirty four years have passed and I'm still at it. I've been a High School umpire for 18 years and worked at the college level for 9 years. I've also coached youth ball, travel baseball and at the high school level in one of the most competitive hotbeds of baseball in the US.

My approach is direct. Some dare say it's controversial. Bully for them. I don’t apologize for who I am. I never have and I never will. The fact that I get results is unchallenged. I look at it this way - If you pay attention, read, learn, ask questions and apply the things that life throws at you, you’ll ultimately discover that baseball is truly more than just a sport - it's a window into life.

I just call them as I see them!
