Sports, Fishing, Coaching
I enjoy watching almost all sports! I cheer for the Chicago Bears, Chicago White Sox, and San Antonio Spurs in pro sports. However, I am a bigger college football fan and I love all things Clemson tigers!
I have been coaching for over 20 years and have coached about every sport played at the high school level. I currently am a assistant football coach at North High School.
Fishing is my favorite free-time, lazy day activity but I haven't seen one of those in a while.
