I have coached football for the past thirty years after my injury shortened NFL career, I found that mentoring young kids and coaching high school football was my purpose in life. I moved to Houston to raise my grandchildren. I am anxious to continue my journey of helping young scholars transition to the next phase of their life after high school.
