Coach Lewis enters his first season as the head coach of the Dillard softball program.

In 2014, Lewis was hired as an assistant coach at Butler University. He was hired under the direction of Scott Hall who taught him the ins-and-outs of collegiate athletics. While at Butler, he worked as the outfield coach, first base coach, as well as assisting Coach Hall with hitting. The experience Lewis gained at Butler is what helped guide his career.

Lewis accepted the head baseball position at Shenandoah after serving as the head softball coach. He was the head baseball coach for over two decades. During his tenure, Lewis became the All-Time Wins Leader as head baseball coach at Shenandoah High School.

Lewis initially began coaching as the head softball coach at Shenandoah High School. In that six year tenure, Shenandoah went on to win over 100 games. Lewis led the small town team, with just over 400 students in their high school, to a state championship berth. They accomplished this before the schools were separated by class which meant they had to compete against much larger schools. The teams during his tenure had five first team All-State performers as well as Miss Indiana Softball, Crystal Inman.  He also had the opportunity to coach the Indiana South All-Star team in 1996.

Lewis earned his bachelor's degree in education from Taylor University. He later received a degree in education from Anderson University. Lewis worked as a teacher in the public school system in Indiana for 35 years, while at the same time coaching on the collegiate level for the last nine years. Lewis also has provided hitting lessons for the past five years at 5 Tool Baseball/Softball Academy, where many of the hitters have transitioned on to the collegiate level.

Lewis is the husband of Lori Lewis. They have one daughter Jayla Lewis (22).
