Commentary
Playing athletics in High School and College prepared me for so many leadership roles in life, some relating to sports, some to my career and some to my personal life. I coached basketball in the Army and my team won the post championship. At my tenure with Ferrum College, a small Liberal Arts School, I coached Golf for two years at the Divisional III Level. Sports prepared me for managerial career positions including District Manager for several different companies, and supervisory positions/department manager. My personal life includes a successful and happy 37-year marriage; sports taught me how to be a true team player.
I enjoy golf and cooking.
