Coach Dave Schreimann
Today we have to say goodbye to a brother, father, grandfather, friend, mentor and coach. Coach Schreimann passed away earlier this week. For the past several years I’ve had the great fortune to coach alongside Dave Schreimann and it’s been an experience I’ll carry with me always. I learned more about baseball than I ever [...]

2011 Jays Baseball Trailer
This project was a lot of fun… countless hours at the ball field and countless more weeding my way through the hours of video I captured to find the good bits. The video was captured with a Canon 7D, mostly shot on a tripod or monopod and assembled in Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects.

Busy April
It’s been a busy month… P90x as usual. I overhauled the ole ’70 GTO. High compression heads, aggressive cam and everything that goes with it. The car just screams now – not a chance it’ll hook up. Baseball galore, practice and games. And summer softball is getting underway too. Lady Jays Pancake breakfast earlier in [...]
Baseball gets underway
It’s been a bit odd being on the “other” side of the fence, but honestly, it’s a welcome change and a good one… for the team and specifically for my son. Sam’s hitting has finally returned – the old “Mud Dawg” hitting is what I’m talking about. While mechanics are certainly important, pounding them into [...]
