My name is Kevin Dana, and I am a happily married, proud father of three. My wife, Chelsea, and I both grew up in the Chugiak-Eagle River area, where we were introduced to various sports and club programs. While Chelsea played volleyball throughout high school, I dedicated my time to baseball, playing for Knik Little League and Chugiak High School before earning a scholarship to play at the collegiate level.

I spent two years as the head coach for Chugiak High School’s JV baseball program and have been coaching T-Ball and Coach Pitch with Knik for the past several years. Over time, I’ve noticed a major challenge in youth sports—lack of repetitions. Too often, young athletes don’t get enough time on the field during a short six-week season, limiting their growth and development.

I owe so much to the coaches who guided me along the way. Their lessons and mentorship have stayed with me throughout my life. I can still remember every coach I had—some great, some not-so-great—many of whom were volunteer parents stepping up to fill a need. But among them, there were a few who truly made an impact, not just in my baseball career but in shaping me as a person.

As I moved into high school, I was fortunate to learn from coaches who remain active in our community today. Their passion, energy, and love for the game transformed the level of competition in the Chugiak-Eagle River area and provided opportunities that hadn’t existed before. I will always be grateful to those coaches who pushed me to be my best, not just on the field but in life.

That same passion and dedication are what I hope to bring to young athletes through Rampage Baseball. My goal is to create an environment where kids can develop their skills, gain confidence, and build a lifelong love for the game—one repetition at a time.
