Tweit began coaching baseball in 2002 and moved to Longview in 2006 to begin a 9-year coaching career at Lower Columbia College. In his second year, Coach Tweit assumed the role of Associate Head Coach and Recruiting Coordinator. During his time at LCC, the Devils won 2 NWAC championships and 5 West Division titles.
In 2015, Tweit took the helm for both Skagit Valley College and the Cowlitz Black Bears, a summer collegiate team and member of the West Coast League. In his one year at SVC, Tweit led the team to a regular season co-division championship and was named the North Division co-head coach of the year. New opportunities for the Tweit family took them back to Longview in the fall of 2016, where he continued coaching the Black Bears until the summer of 2020, when the Tweit family returned to Bellingham.
Grady Tweit and his wife Alicia reside in Bellingham, WA with their two children, Mackynlee (17) and Gunnar (14).
