Hire Date: 5/17/2005
Current Position: Sports Director
Past Positions: Childcare Counselor, Lifeguard, Swim Lesson Instructor
Most Memorable Moment of Being at the YMCA: Coaching my first youth baseball team and watching them get better and love the game like I do.
I feel I make an impact through the YMCA mission by... tying the five YMCA Character Values of faith, honesty, caring, respect, and responsibility to Christianity, and implementing it all into the youth sports programs here at the YMCA through the Character Development devotion books.
 
Favorite Song: Centerfield by John Fogharty ("Put me in coach" song)
I'm happiest when... I'm eating a good hearty meal and drinking sweet tea.
People who knew me in high school thought I was... like a box of chocolates... never knew what they were gonna get.
The best advice I could give a 20 year-old is... never take 8:00am classes in college, They're a set-up for failure.
I wish I could sing like... Elvis.
