Senk has enjoyed 12 winning seasons and compiled 30 or more wins five times. He has produced several players who have gone on to play at the professional level and surpassed the 350 win mark last season with a double header sweep of Maine on May 8. In just five years competing at the Division I level, Senk has averaged over 30 wins a season and brought the Stony Brook program to the top of the America East Conference. Last season, his squad captured its first America East title in school history, making an appearance in the NCAA Championships at the Kinston, N.C., Regional. His .609 winning percentage at the Division I level puts him in the upper echelon of active Division I coaches.

Stony Brook achieved its ultimate goal of an America East title and an NCAA bid in 2004 after qualifying for the postseason in each of its three previous seasons in the conference. Senk turned in one of his finest coaching performances, pulling his team together to peak at the end of an up and down season. After a 1-5 start in conference play, Senk was able to go 10-5 down the stretch to earn the fourth and final spot at the America East Championship. The Seawolves came into the tournament with the No. 4 seed, but were the cream of the crop, sweeping through the field in three straight games to earn the America East crown. After defeating America East Pitcher of the Year Jordan Thomson and the No. 1 seeded Northeastern Huskies, the Seawolves topped tournament-host Maine twice, once to advance to the winner's bracket of the final and again when the Black Bears came through the loser's bracket into the championship game. Senk's disciplined squad dominated the all-championship team, as seven of the 11 spots went to Seawolves. Outfielder Isidro Fortuna garnered the tournament's Most Outstanding Player Award and was joined on the team by Matt Devins, Andrew Larsen, Dave Mischo, Matt Restivo, Chris Sipp and Nick Theoharis.

Senk nearly took home his first America East title during the 2003 season. In the team's second year of competition in the league, the Seawolves posted a 33-21 overall record and a 15-9 mark in the conference. A third place regular season finish put the Seawolves into the America East playoffs where they won two games over Maine to advance to the championship round versus Northeastern. Having to take two straight games over the Huskies, Stony Brook was able to rally from a 7-1 deficit to win the first game 11-10, but came up short in the deciding game. However, the team showed they will be a perennial contender for the conference title and that the future is bright for Stony Brook baseball. In addition to seniors Ed Kull and Mike Russo being selected to America East All-Conference teams, several young players earned conference recognition as freshmen pitcher Matt Restivo was selected to the America East All-Rookie team and sophomore Matt Devins garnered second team all-conference honors. Sophomore Andrew Larsen picked up post-season honors as he was named the All-America East Championship Team after the Seawolves runner-up finish.

Senk and the Seawolves were extremely successful in making their America East conference debut in the 2002 season. He led the Seawolves to a 27-24 overall record and an 11-11 mark against conference competition, securing a tie for third place during the regular season. The Seawolves qualified for the conference playoffs immediately, showing the rest of the America East that they would be a force to reckon with in the league for years to come. A young core of talent emerged as pitcher Jonathan Lewis was named the America East Rookie of the Year and fellow freshman Matt Devins received all-conference honors in addition to making the all-rookie team. Both were also recognized by Collegiate Baseball as Freshmen All-Americans.

Success is nothing new for Senk. He posted a tremendous 35-16 mark in 2001 in just the second season Stony Brook competed at the Division I level. Senk led the Seawolves to landmark victories over Winthrop and crosstown rival St. John's and a 10-0 mark in New York State Conference Baseball play. Following the year, Alex Trezza became the University's first Division I All-American and Chris Flinn was drafted in the third round of the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft - the highest round a Stony Brook player has ever been drafted.

Senk's teams are traditionally some of the best hitting in the country, as evidenced during the 2000 season when the Seawolves were plastered all over the final national statistics. Senk coached the Seawolves to the nation's team batting and slugging titles, hitting .347 and slugging .580, respectively. Averaging 1.78 homeruns per game, the team finished second nationally in the category, while its 9.37 runs per outing was fifth best in the country. SBU's 2.56 doubles per game were the sixth-best total in Division I. Altogether, Stony Brook put together one of its finest performances from the plate in the school's history en route to a 30-11 mark and the 11th best winning percentage in the nation.

Individually, catcher Craig Ansman finished in the top 50 in batting, designated hitter Alex Trezza was 12th in home runs and 22nd in RBI and shortstop Ed Murillo was the third toughest batter in the nation to strikeout. Sophomore pitcher Chris Flinn placed seventh in strikeouts per nine innings.

Prior to Stony Brook's jump to Division I in 2000, Senk enjoyed unmatched success at the Division II level. In 1999, Senk guided the Seawolves to a school-record 36 wins and the program's first outright ECAC championship. In 1998, Senk led the Seawolves to a 23-11-1 mark, a 16-game turnaround from the previous season, and was named Stony Brook's Men's Coach of the Year for the fourth time in the 1990's. In addition, the team earned the Stony Brook Men's "Quantum Leap" award for the biggest improvement from the previous season.

Individually, the Seawolves have been handsomely rewarded for their outstanding efforts under Senk's guidance. During his tenure at Stony Brook, he has had 66 players named All-Conference, 33 players named All-Region, two players named All-American and eight that have signed minor league baseball contracts. Topping the list of Stony Brook alums is Joe Nathan, a 2004 All-Star with the MInnesota Twins. Nathan was initially drafted by the San Francisco Giants in 1995 and broke into the Major Leagues in 1999. After posting exceptional numbers with the Giants in 2003, recording a 12-4 mark with a 2.96 ERA, he was dealt to the Twins where he blossomed into one of the most dominant closers in the Major Leagues. He finished in a tie for fourth place in the American League Cy Young voting after converting 44-of-47 save opportunities and posting a 1.62 ERA in 73 appearances. Another Senk protege, Craig Ansman, appeared in his third minor league all-star game for the Arizona Diamondbacks organization in 2004 as the starting catcher for the Pacific Coast League at the triple-A mid-summer classic. While at Stony Brook, he earned New England Collegiate Conference Player of the Year accolades and became the Seawolves' first ever All-American in 1999. Leading the list of SB draftees is Chris Flinn, who was selected by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the third round of the 2001 draft and is currently playing in their minor league system. Alex Trezza was also taken in the 2001 draft when the Detroit Tigers made him their selection in the 18th round. 2004 graduate Dave Mischo was signed by the independent Evansville Otters last season while Gregg Foster was signed to minor league contract four seasons ago. Anthony Stutz spent last season with the Brockton Rox of the Northern League, making the Northeast League All-Star Team.

Academically, over 90 percent of Senk's players have graduated and moved into successful careers or graduate school. Nathan also earned academic All-American honors twice under Senk's tutelage.

Stony Brook's outstanding results on the field over the years are a credit to Senk's passionate recruiting and coaching abilities. One of the very best recruiters in the nation, Senk has a reputation for bringing not only the best players to the field, but some of the best people to the University. He has taken a local approach to recruiting, tapping some of Long Island's top high schools and community colleges to strengthen the Seawolves program.

Prior to accepting the coaching position at Stony Brook, Senk spent three years as head coach at Kellenberg Memorial High School where his teams were successful in capturing league and division championships. Before coaching at Kellenberg, Senk was the head coach at St. Agnes Cathedral High School and guided his team to a division championship and was named Nassau-Suffolk Catholic High School Athletic Association Coach of the Year.

Senk is a graduate of Cortland State where he earned his Bachelor's degree in psychology in 1980. While at Cortland, Senk was the Red Dragon's starting catcher for three seasons, a two-time All-SUNYAC selection and the team's Most Valuable Player as a senior. Senk later earned his master's degree in physical education from Adelphi University and is a member of the American Baseball Coaches Association.
