His interest in baseball grew after reading Moneyball as a teenager, which sparked a lasting fascination with the analytical side of the game. During his four years at Swarthmore College, he played on the baseball team and received the 2012 Centennial Conference Sportsmanship Award. He also spent two years as Assistant Director at the Complete Game Institute, where he managed the Pitching Biomechanics Facility, organized pitching camps, and worked with high-speed video technology.

His early professional experience included internships with the New York Mets, Turner-Gary Sports, and the Detroit Tigers.

He remained with the Detroit Tigers for 14 years, advancing from intern to analyst, coordinator, director, and ultimately VP and Assistant General Manager in 2021 at age 31. In that role, he led teams across scouting, medical, performance, and player experience functions. He played a significant role in player acquisitions, contract negotiations, salary arbitration matters, and more than $100 million in capital investment initiatives. He also served as the interim club point of contact during a leadership transition.

He earned a Bachelor of Arts in History with a minor in Psychology from Swarthmore College and studied abroad in Rome, Italy.
