He played four years of collegiate baseball at Wisconsin Lutheran College from 2005 to 2009, earning recognition as a standout athlete.

A graduate of Union City High School, Cody returned to his alma mater as an assistant baseball coach from 2010 to 2016. His coaching journey then led him to take over the school’s softball program, where he made history by starting Union City’s first-ever fastpitch team. Under his leadership, the team achieved a state tournament appearance, and he coached four Academic All-Staters and four All-Staters during his head coaching career.
