Hobbies
- I have been a football coach for 22 years. I have been apart of championships at the county, state, and National levels of competition. This feat was not solely because of me and has showed me the way to best get your goals accomplished while communicating and working with people of all walks of life. I don't take the role of Husband/Dad/Coach/Mentor lightly. I want to be a positive male role model for these young men's lives.
- In addition to football, I also have coached softball for my youngest daughter for the past 4 years.
