Dear Parents, Let me begin by first thanking you for the opportunity to coach your son. It is an honor and a privilege to have the ability to work daily with young men, helping mold them into upstanding citizens through the game of baseball. It is a tremendous responsibility that I take very seriously. Baseball has the ability to teach young men a lot about life. Humility, respect, and accountabil... Read More »
I was around 10 when I learned that when it comes to family, bloodlines don’t mean everything, and in some cases, it doesn’t mean ANYTHING. According to the dictionary, “Family” can be defined as: a.

But we can get that sun-kissed glow without the sun or tanning bed – please people – get out of the tanning beds! All those self tanners 10 years ago gave the future of self tanners a bad rap. ...

Raising chickens is a crazy and weird experience. Or Maybe it was just the way I did it? On the second week of school, it was announced that each student in my Horticulture class would have to do an SAE (supervised agricultural experience) project. It took me a few days to think about what I would do…whatever it was needed to be cool, take up 15 hours of my time, not cost very much, and also... Read More »
