Dream BIG Baseball Camp will be under the excellent leadership of Geno Espineli.

Geno Espineli came to Denver, by way of Texas, in 2011 after an eight-year Major (and Minor) League Baseball career. Growing up in a single-parent household, Geno sought guidance, mentoring and discipline through the game of baseball. He realized that his coaches were his biggest influences throughout his career and found his calling in coaching and private instruction. During Geno’s high school, collegiate and professional playing days, he helped run numerous day camps and enjoyed teaching baseball techniques to players of all skill levels and ages.

Geno attended the University of Texas and Texas Christian University before graduating with a degree in Sport Industry Operations from Metro State University. He is now a carer firefighter/paramedic in the City of Lakewood, and he enjoys spending his days off outdoors with his wife and two daughters.

Each and every child will get the proper attention and instruction so that they can improve and have tons of fun at camp!
