Favorite Volleyball Moment:
	"Success is one thing, impact is another". Forming all of the relationships over the years with the parents of the athletes I have coached has been priceless. That and just watching my three daughters, three nieces and nephew play the game and participate in the family business is always pretty special. We will have to see what our now 9 year old son decides to play.... :)
