About Me

I'm a fire fighter by profession, a soccer coach by choice, soccer player by passion, and golfer by the pure need to punish myself. Oh, and i run alot too.I just like to have fun. I'm a big kid, I get bored, fun and caffine make the world go round. When I get bored, I start doing stupid crap. Idle hands are the devils tool....ever hear that....with me, that is more true than I would like it to be, ask Todd!Being a firefighter allows me the opportunity to do a good thing for humanity. For the most part, I hate people, I dislike stupidity, and have little patience for slow people. This allows me to put my life on the line for those who cannot help themselves.I am very willing to teach my fellow firefighter everything I know. Although I am the highest trained person in my fire department, I am only as good as those around me. I have spent large amounts of time training those for whome I might be responsible for someday or those who will be asked to pull me out of a fire in the event I screw the pooch.Now a bit about me on a real note. I am a coach, a firefighter, and a Technical Sergeant in the Air Force. I play nice and go jogging, golfing, playing poker with the guys and drink probably more beer than a fellow should. (That is why I run so much...to keep the belly down)I hate a kid that has more God given talent but doesn't feel the need to practice or listen to a coach. Kids don't understand that the coach had forgotten more about the game than the player knows. the 16 year old player thinks he knows more than the coach who is more than 10 years older! the sheer audacity!!! Coach always knows best. The good coach will listen however. listen to the players, and adapt accordingly to win the game
