BRANDENKAUPE  

Aloha, my name is Branden Kaupe, born & raised on the island of Maui, Hawaii.  Currently I am in Kingsport, Tennessee playing in the Appalachian League for the Kingsport Mets.  I am a 2012 graduate of Baldwin High School and have competed in both baseball & football all of my life.  From the age of four, I played my first t-ball game and continued to participate in both the Little League and Horse League.  Hard work, dedication & perseverance starts within and will end positively, no matter the outcome.  Keeping a strong positive attitude for myself and toward others has always contributed to my leadership & team player mentality all these years.  
During my high school freshmen year, I was selected to move up with the Varsity Baseball Team, and there I  experienced competing at a higher level.  I enjoy the competition of sports and humbled by the overwhelming love and support  I have received through the years.  
Mahalo & A Hui Hou!
