As many do, I began wrestling as a young child and continued through high school. After a successful high school career I coached for the same high school I graduated from. I was fortunate to coach and help develop five wrestler's into state champions in Minnesota during a five year period. After college, I moved to Colorado and took a year off from wrestling. I got the itch to coach again and was fortunate to be offered the head wrestling position at Gateway High School in Aurora the following year. Later, after working for two years in administration (where coaching wrestling was an afterthought), I feel blessed to learn and work for a highly respected coach who knows how to develop a program and athletes as quality students who become high character adults. |
