Mike is probably the best coach ever from the San Gabriel Valley as he has won 1043 games combined from Glendora and Damien High Schools in 43 years (second all-time to Mater Dei’s Gary McKnight). He was the 32nd nationally to get 900 wins. He attended Ramona HS in Riverside County and UC Riverside. He first started coaching at Damien from 1979-1986 before going to Glendora for 29 years through 2015, winning four CIF titles, including seven trips to the finals, and 15 league crowns (winning CIF titles in 1990, ’92, ’98, 2001).

Then he returned to Damien, and accomplished something he never thought would happen. The 2022 Cal-Hi State Coach of the Year won the 2022 California State Championship in his 42nd season. He coached both Tracy Murray and Casey Jacobsen at Glendora, who were part of the first class of the SCBBHOF. He has coached numerous top players over his long coaching career. He was elected to the Riverside Sports Hall of Fame in 2024, and is a member of the SCIBCA Coaches Hall of Fame.
