Activities

During my free time, I enjoy coaching my kids in their respective sports. I am an assistant coach for my stepdaughter’s softball team and my son’s baseball team as well as head coaching my son’s tournament team. Along with those hobbies, I also manage and operate the New Oxford Junior Baseball Association which includes scheduling, roster assignments, sponsorships and field maintenance. This was necessary experience for adapting to handle situations that some may not be comfortable interjecting themselves into.
