Hiking, Sports, Coaching, Fishing.
I have been a soccer coach since my son was 3 years old but have decided to hang up the whistle to preserver their love for the game. I want to be a parent and coach but want to see the game from a different perspective. Watching my kids flourish in a sport I love is truly a blessing. I have played travel soccer since a child and my children have a gift for the same game We have traveled all around the world for tournaments. We have played Shanghai, Tokyo, the base of Mount Fuji, and other Japanese regions. Additionally, we play travel soccer in the U.S. and have been invited to multiple regional tournaments that include, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Oklahoma, and Missouri. This keeps us quite busy. I love the outdoors and try to get my kids to see how beautiful nature is and being in the natural state, it make sense to camp, hike, and fish as much as we can. Fishing is very relaxing and allows me to spend that time with my son and daughter before they establish a life of their own, and hopefully plant some long term memories that are passed down.
