| About Me | I love coaching girls and boys biddy basketball. I have coached a total of 31 teams. 19 made it to the championship game of which 14 teams were champs and 5 teams were runner-up. Coached flag football, 3 teams and had one runner-up. Coached Girls softball ,4 teams had one championship. My favorite job was Supervisor at Westinghouse in the 80's. I was also a Supervisor at the Advocate with USA-Today newspaper and got the Most Improved Print Site, Ace Award which Im proud of. I served as President of the Licking County Vietnam Veterans of America chapter 55 and was on the Color Guard which was at the dedication of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC, 1982. I was President of church council at Holy Trinity Lutheran for 3 years and Sunday School Teacher 3rd thru 6th grade for 7 years. I really enjoy ridding motorcycles in the summer with my friends. Cookouts, bondfires, cranking out some homemade Ice cream and enjoying being with my family and grandkids. At Christmas playing Santa Clause for the grandkids and our family Xmas party. In the winter sitting around the woodbuner and relaxing with a shot of Bushmills Irish Wiskey and a good Cuban cigar. I love to travel.
