History with Softball and why you chose to Coach:
I've always loved baseball and softball. I've played the games since I was 6 and I've been coaching on and off for almost 30 years now. I have 4 kids and coached or assisted them at various times in their life. Love the nuances of the game. Actually enjoy coaching softball more than baseball. I've been blessed to coach some amazing young women over the past 8 years and have watched as many have or will be soon fulfilling their dream of playing collegiately.
Tell us about your life and things that are important to you:
My family for sure. I have 4 awesome kids. My son Chad and daughters Morganne, Ashlyn and Jordyn. 3 grandkids Brooke, Carson and Easton. My amazing wife Athena and I have been together for 22 years.
Tell us a crazy fun fact about you:
I am a Sports FANATIC! I love the Redskins (it's been so long since we were relevant!) Yankees! UNC Basketball and Texas Football. I know I'm all over the map!
