After graduating with a B.A. from Wheaton College (MA) in 2017, he completed his advanced degree, M.S. in Sports Management and Athletic Administration, from Southern New Hampshire University in 2020.
Coach Sellar has an extensive background as a player. During his collegiate days, he spent two years at Eckerd College (FL) competing in the nationally regarded Sunshine State Conference as a catcher.

His young coaching career has already seen him serve in several roles across the Aquidneck Island community. In 2018, he was an Assistant Coach at Rogers High School in Newport, RI, responsible for the development of catchers. When he joined the SG community, his involvement and catching expertise continued on a part-time basis.
