Greg Bergeron is in his first season as an assistant coach with Cal State Fullerton, coming to the Titans from UC Irvine where he spent the last three seasons with fellow Titan coaches Dave Serrano and Sergio Brown.

Bergeron, 37, will be responsible for running the Titan offense from the third base coaching box and he will also provide hitting and infield instruction. He will also grant assistance to Brown with the Fullerton recruiting efforts.

While at Irvine, Bergeron's offensive strategy proved extremely proficient as the Anteaters led the Big West Conference in nearly every major category except doubles, home runs and walks. Under his guidance, the Anteaters also shattered a school record for stolen bases and also set new highs for sacrifices and sacrifice flies. Irvine's 140 stolen bases in 2007 ranked eighth in the nation and nearly tripled the next best Big West school, Cal State Northridge, which finished with 54 stolen bases.

Prior to Irvine, Bergeron spent seven seasons (1998-2004) at El Camino College in Torrance, Calif., where he was eventually promoted to head coach in his final year. In his only season as the Warriors' skipper, Bergeron led El Camino to a school record 30-7 finish and to within one game of a state championship. During his tenure, he helped more than 50 players earn scholarships at four-year colleges, 30 of whom ended up at Division I schools.

Bergeron's coaching career began in 1996 with a one-season stint at Loyola Marymount before moving over to Cypress College where he coached along side Brown and helped guide the Chargers to the California Community College State Championship.

He has seen over 30 of his former players drafted by major league teams with his most notable being Robert Stiehl, a first-round draft pick for the Houston Astros in 2000.

After prepping at Gahr High School, and redshirting at Cerritos College, Bergeron played two seasons at Cal State Dominguez Hills where he was named the Toros' Student-Athlete of the Year while earning first-team all-conference, Team MVP and conference batting champion honors his junior year. Bergeron finished his eligibility in 1994 with Loyola Marymount, where he earned All-West Coast Conference recognition. He eventually signed a free-agent contract with the Houston Astros in 1995.

Bergeron earned his bachelor's degree in physical education from Cal State Dominguez Hills in 1993 and his master's degree in the same subject from Azusa Pacific in 1997. He and his wife, Anne Marie, live in Long Beach with their twin daughters, Nicole and Natalie (7), and their infant son, Brooks.
