Advice to young athletes:
“Get involved in sports. Don’t limit yourself to one sport. Sports will teach your life lessons about effort, attitude, discipline, continuous learning, teamwork, goal setting….the list goes on.”
How have sports impacted your life?:
“My Dad loved sports, particularly baseball. So, sports were part of my life from a young age. Surfing was a block from the house, so I gravitated to the beach. Sports taught me how to be competitive and creative. Sports expanded my social network and love of comradery. I still ride mtn bikes and run with friends and remain competitive for my age group. As my wife says, a workout is my gin & tonic.”
What year and why did you join the OCYSF Board?
“2018 – I wanted to give back to local community in a way that meant something, so supporting youth athletics was a great fit.”
In your own words, what does the OCYSF Mission Statement mean?
” Enabling Orange County young athletes to participate in sports and learn how sports can be a vehicle to accelerate their life’s dreams.”
