I am actively involved with my community’s youth sports programs where I spend much of my free time coaching basketball, soccer, and baseball. I currently serve as a head coach for the Westosha Central High School travel basketball program (8^th grade boys) and for the Racine Area Soccer Association.

I believe youth sports not only help keep our children active and physically fit, but they also help kids learn the value of hard work and collaboration, while developing their skills in communication, time-management, and goal-setting, and effectively learning how to handle both success and adversity. And it’s a heck of a lot of fun – for me and the kids!
