I served on the Board and a Past-President of the Oz Park Baseball Association, a 501c3 organization dedicated to teaching baseball fundamentals to over 1,300 Chicago children. In addition to serving on the Board, I have been a youth baseball coach for the past 7 years. Through coaching these young athletes, I have witnessed many inspiring and life changing moments.I have a passion for ethically driven high performance, combining maximum integrity with maximum energy. I believe that there are parallels between performance in sports and performance in business and I use my platform as coach to teach life lessons to my athletes. I also believe a win-at-all-cost coach is no different than a win-at-all-cost executive. The win-at-all-cost coach will do whatever it takes to win a game, even if it means violating rules and the expectations of sportsmanship. The win-at-all-cost executive will do whatever it takes to meet a company’s goals even at the expense of ethics, integrity, and the expectations of shareholders. Neither the coach nor the executive can succeed long term with a win-at-all-cost approach. Conversely, ethically driven high performers have an expectation of continuous improvement which leads to lasting success on the athletic field and in the Boardroom. ABOUT OPBA: An independent Not-for-Profit organization providing 1,100 kids with the opportunity to play organized baseball in the Lincoln Park community of Chicago. Working hand-in-hand with our strategic partners in the City of Chicago Government, the Chicago Park District, and the Chicago Fire Department to gain field access and operational support. Thrilled to have the generous support of our sponsors, including the Chicago Cubs, without whom this would not be possible.

The Chicago Youth Baseball Initiative is a community group of the University of Illinois at Chicago with a mission of providing area youth with the opportunity to play baseball in a fun and safe environment, while offering educational experiences on a world-class college campus.
