Welcome

Welcome to Ump-Up: Lake County’s Premier Umpiring Service

​

With over 25 years of experience and a decade dedicated to serving Lake County, IL, I bring passion, professionalism, and precision to every game I officiate. From 9U to 15U baseball, including the Waukegan Hispanic League, I’ve had the privilege of umpiring at the highest levels of Little League Baseball, including a career highlight of ringing up a 12U batter in a nail-biting championship moment that sent Kenner, LA, to Williamsport, where they secured victory.

At Ump-Up, our mission is to provide top-notch umpiring while mentoring the youth of Lake County. This past year alone, we proudly contracted with multiple parks and earned over 50 referrals, building a reputation for excellence on and off the field.
