Gold Medalist U.S. Racquetball Association
Winning the Gold Medal in recognition of my National Championship victory is the highlight of my racquetball playing career. Having won many local, state and regional tournaments the 1998 USRA championship stands out as the crowning achievement for my playing career. The physical, mental, and character training gained from more than 20 years of competition has proven incredibly valuable for all aspects of my life.
