An avid sports fan and a former professional athlete who grew up and lives in the Northeast. I had good grades and was a good athlete in High School, but was NOT recruited or offered a scholarship to College. I experienced first-hand the challenges for a High School student athlete to gain the exposure necessary to be recruited by Colleges across the nation. I made a decision to become proactive in my college athletic career. I walked on to the University of Connecticut baseball team. I worked hard on and off the field, created and marketed my brand and ultimately went on to get a scholarship to finish my career at a College in the competitive South.  After a successful college campaign I was selected in the MLB draft and played 8 years of professional baseball with 4 different organizations.  Looking back I wish I had started focusing and marketing my brand while I was in High School. Now I want to help others to gain that competitive edge as they consider their future in college athletics. I hope you allow Planet Prospect to help you in reaching your athletic and academic dreams of getting to the next level.
