Hey Arsenal Fam!
It’s bittersweet to say this chapter has come to a close. After 19 years of coaching baseball, it’s time to turn in the clipboard and simply be a dad.
I’ve struggled to put these emotions into words—heartbreak, pride, gratitude—all wrapped together. What started as a simple role as a dugout dad grew into a true passion for coaching. For me, it was always about the boys and girls I had the privilege to coach, and about showing them that this game is more than wins and losses. Baseball teaches lessons that reach far beyond the field, lessons that help shape who we become off of it.
To the players, the coaches, and the kids—
What a journey. What a family. What an absolute privilege it has been to walk beside you.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. It has truly been an honor.
The ending hurts—but the story is unforgettable. And when you pour your heart into something this fully, there is nothing to hang your head about.
