"My relationship with Mike dates back 20+ years now as our baseball
paths crossed at Broward Community College in the mid 1980's. While both
our baseball lives have weaved different ways over time, Mike's work
ethic and pursuit of baseball knowledge has not slowed. Whether your
son's ultimate ceiling in this game is at the high school level, college
level, or even the Major Leagues it is imperative that the development
your son's skills are shaped by someone that can get the most out of
his natural ability. The development of every player is very much
influenced by his instructors and you don't always have a chance to
select whose hands your son's future may be shaped by. Mike's
understanding and ability to teach the fundamentals skills that are
applicable at the highest levels of our game should be taken advantage
of by Houstonian's who wish to maximize their son's ability."
