A Winston-Salem native, Lewis attended Reynolds High School before transferring to the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. A high school catcher, he pursued a walk-on opportunity at Wake Forest University before an elbow injury ended his playing aspirations. He went on to earn his medical degree at Wake Forest and now practices at Novant Health Valaoras & Lewis OB/GYN in Winston-Salem.
Lewis coached his two sons from T-ball through high school on local and national stages. As both became elite pitchers, he began a deep study of pitching mechanics and development. In 2019, he became one of the first remote trainers certified by Driveline Baseball. He subsequently served two years as a pitching consultant at West Forsyth High School, helping develop six future Division I pitchers. He also earned certification through the Florida Baseball Ranch, now The Armory, and pursued continuing education with the Texas Baseball Ranch.
In 2021, Lewis became the inaugural pitching coach for the Carolina Disco Turkeys, serving for five seasons and helping develop pitchers from Division I and junior college programs. He brings an individualized approach to the Flying Pigs, helping each pitcher improve movement efficiency, build velocity, and refine an arsenal while emphasizing healthy arm-care practices.
His ties to the community extend well beyond baseball: Lewis has delivered approximately 8,000 babies—including several players he would later coach.
