COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
I have coached many of my sons’ teams over the past 20 years. Coaching basketball, baseball, football, and soccer was a fun way to teach life lessons to my children. I also enjoyed watching their friends learn and grow over the years. These times are some of the best memories I have with my children.
