Favorite Quotes: “After all the cheers have died down and the stadium is empty, after the headlines have been written, and after you are back in the quiet of your room and the championship rings have been placed on the dresser and after all the pomp and fanfare have faded, the enduring thing that is left is the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we can to make the world a better place in which to live.” ~ Vince Lombardi

“The man who thinks he can and the man who thinks he cannot, are both right. Which one are you?”

“You can either find a way or you can find an excuse, but you can’t find both!”

Why did you become a coach?

I became a coach to help young men and women reach their full athletic and academic potential but more important to prepare them for life and become positive and productive citizens who go out and make the world a better place.

What do you love most about coaching at Travis?

I love the family atmosphere at Travis. Travis is a wonderful place. We have great teachers, excellent coaches and amazing student athletes. I am also proud that 3 former players are now coaching with me.
