Mine Baseball is dedicated to bringing players the best wood bats to help them reach their maximum potential. We also help level the playing field for urban youth baseball players across the nation by providing them with free or heavily discounted baseball bats.European beech wood bats have not been popular before because of the complex supply chain and lack of availability. We have the relationships to bring the finest beechwood from the forest to the field. Over a year in advance, our manufacturing partners select the trees that produce the best bats. They cut, dry, and process the wood in their European factories. Only the wood with the straightest grain and optimum weight and balance is used for bats.

In 1999 a handful of Yankees, myself included, joined a couple of Southerners to buy a shrimp processing plant in Dulac Louisiana over the years it morphed into one of the largest processors in the Gulf of Mexico with 3 state-of-the-art processing plants throughout Louisiana. During this time, we also acquired a Cajun Sausage company and a Creole frozen foods company that included the infamous Tur-Duc-Hen.

I joined Morgan Stanley in 1993 having spent the previous eight years working as a financial advisor in a regional brokerage house. In 1993 the firm had just created a new division Corporate Services and I was invited to be one of the first in the nation to work for this group. The Corporate Services Group focused on the financial needs of public companies working in conjunction with the Investment Bankers to bring these services to our clients in a organized professional manner. Much of what I did focused on stock-based compensation, Rule 144, for the C-Suite and other senior management. Over the years I along with my team in Madison and Chicago also developed a significant business working with private/family-owned businesses in managing portfolios, mergers and acquisitions and generational and estate planning issues. I retired from the business in the Spring of 2019 to actively pursue other endeavors.Morgan Stanley and its people have helped redefine the meaning of financial services. The firm has continually broken new ground in advising clients on strategic transactions, in pioneering the global expansion of finance and capital markets, and in providing new opportunities for individual and institutional investors.
