Coaching, Mentoring, Outdoors, and Sports!
I am a volunteer coach and coaching assistant when fall season for t-ball and youth baseball begins. I enjoy mentoring youth through community, church, and public events. Having twin daughters I am involved in school activities, musicals and recital's often on weekends!
I enjoy taking 1-2 day spontaneous trips to my property in East tx with my wife and children to breath the fresh piney woods air. This allows memory making and quality time necessary for a stable and secure household and childhood! I am an avid baseball and football fan who enjoys a Sunday on the couch or with family through a get together and occasionally a game in person!
