YEARS INVOLVED WITH SPECIAL OLYMPICS: 5 years

SPORT(S) YOU COACH: Track and Field Head Coach and Co-Head Coach for Swimming

HOW YOU BECAME INVOLVED: I was asked by the President of the Board of Directors at my workplace. I couldn’t say ‘no’

WHAT YOU LIKE ABOUT COACHING SPECIAL OLYMPICS ATHLETES: The athletes are so appreciative of the coaches. The fact that they want to be there and are always happy, just makes any day turn into a good day for me.

BEST ACCOMPLISHMENT IN COACHING: There is not one best accomplishment. Every time an athlete makes any kind of progress or improvement, becomes an accomplishment for both of us.
