Personal:
Coach Perrault grew up in Naytahwaush, MN, which is on the White Earth Indian Reservation. He attended Mahnomen High School and was an honor graduate in the spring of 2003. In December of 2007, he recieved his B.A. in Elementary Education from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN. Following graduation, he held teaching and coaching jobs in several northern Minnesota schools before moving to Minneapolis when his fiance was accepted into dental school at the University of Minnesota. In addition to his baseball duties, Coach Perrault is currently the head football coach for St. Paul Academy and the mathematics instructor at Nawayee Center School in South Minneapolis.

Baseball Background:
Coach Perrault has always admitted that baseball was his first love. He and his parents, a construction worker and a biology teacher, spent countless hours on the baseball fields of northern Minnesota during his childhood. Following his father's death, Coach P & his mother moved to Naytahwaush. Mahnomen, the closest school and a perennial football powerhouse, had no baseball team for anyone older than fourteen years old until Coach P and his friends helped raise enough money to start a legion team the summer before their senior year of high school.

The team wasn't quite as successful as the pee-wee and cadet teams these same athletes had played on that didn't lose a game for three years, but Coach Perrault still looks back on his two years as a legion captain and everyday catcher as some of the most enjoyable times of his life.

His athletics resume includes time playing football at the college and semi-professional level, four years of football, basketball and track in high school, as well as two years of rugby in college. He has coached baseball at all levels from PeeWee to Senior Babe Ruth. He has also coached varsity football, varsity girls basketball, and varsity track & field.

When asked about his proudest accomplishments as a baseball coach, Coach Perrault says it is a toss up between watching the joy on his players faced when his Senior Babe Ruth team won their first playoff game and the way he felt watching his 13-year-old team in Moorhead handle a heartbreaking tournament loss with the poise of professionals.
