A native of Rochester, MI, Ayrault is entering his 10th consecutive season as a manager in Milwaukee's farm system and 13th consecutive season as a manager in Minor League Baseball. He began his managerial career in the Cincinnati Reds organization from 2007 through 2009 before joining the Brewers system in 2010 as skipper of the Pioneer League's Helena Brewers. In 2010, Ayrault went on to earn Pioneer League Co-Manager of the Year honors while leading Helena to a 41-34 record and the Pioneer League championship in his first season at the helm. A former catcher, Ayrault was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the fifth round of the 1990 amateur draft and went on to spend his entire playing career (1990-1997) in the Atlanta organization.
