  • Why Franciscan?

    • After retirement last year I wanted to gain college coaching experience at a place where I could be fully open about my Catholic faith. I also am in the process of obtaining a Master’s in Theology at a great Catholic college. Franciscan University baseball is the program that gave me the opportunity to play everyday in college in order to get into professional baseball. I am grateful to hopefully give back a little bit to the program that helped me.
