Brian started the Beaver Valley Baseball Club in 1996.  In his 25 years of coaching/running BV, the program is respected both nationally and locally.  This season he should climb over the 3,300 win plateau as a travel baseball coach.  Brian has managed his BV teams in 9 of the program’s 12 Cooperstown Championships (A national record at Cooperstown Dreams Park) and has more Dreams Park wins then any other coach in the nation.  He also managed his 13U BV Red team to the first ever USSSA Elite World Series National Championship in Disney in 2004.  Brian also managed a 14U team to a runner up finish in the same event in 2007.  Brian managed his team’s to Triple Crown Sports National Championship in Myrtle Beach, SC on 3 different occasions.  His program has won USSSA Super NIT events dozens of times; as well as countless tournaments at Ripken, Sports Force Park, and other great tourney organizations around the country.  Locally, Brian’s BV teams have been Champions many times in our area’s biggest events, which include the Cap Classic and other Atlantic Coast Events, tourneys at No Off Season, Ohio Baseball events. etc . . .  In 2011, Brian was named the National Coach of the year by travelballrankings.com (a website that is no longer around that had local and national rankings).  Brian has been part of the development and training of thousands of players, including over 30 who had their name called in the MLB draft.  His goal for the kids in the program is pretty simple, at a younger age, DEVELOPMENT and a baseball season the is built on a great EXPERIENCE.  As players get to their 8th grade year and older, the program face changes to DEVELOPMENT and getting players RECOGNIZED to play at the college level.
