Who Inspires Me:
- Jesus, my wife, my children, my parents, former coaches & teammates, colleagues, and players that I have coached.
- With the support of my wife and kids they inspire me to be a better husband, father, and better football coach
- My parents instilled in me a hard work ethic, commitment to excellence, and taught me how to love others.
- My coaches were role models that inspired me to want to pursue coaching after my playing career, they always pushed me to do more, and challenged me to continuously change my best. These coaches helped me to understand how to deal with adversity, taught me a love for the game of football, and inspired me to be a college athlete and football coach.
