Tony Coyne is a former Yale baseball captain and professional ballplayer whose journey has spanned the dugout, the boardroom, and the sometimes messy space in between. After a collegiate career in the Ivy League, he spent four years chasing the dream of Major League Baseball, competing in the Mets organization and in independent ball before ultimately stepping away from the game.

​

What followed was anything but linear. Over the next two decades, Tony built a career in business development, working in education, franchise ownership, and the emerging proptech space — most recently helping grow access control and smart technology adoption across the multifamily industry. Along the way, he’s also been a coach, a mentor, a husband, and a father — roles that have shaped his perspective far more than any job title or stat line ever could.

​

Now based in Northeast Florida with his wife and two children, Tony is the author of The Curveball Life — a book about growing up, staying grounded, and helping families navigate the pressures of modern youth sports. Drawing from his own experiences in baseball, business, and family life, he offers honest stories and practical takeaways for athletes, parents, and anyone walking through life’s unpredictable innings.
