Personal Philosophy 

There are many lessons that participating in sports will bring you when you go out for sports. I have learned teamwork, fairness, accountability, and hard work from playing sports. This is how I will lead an athletic department and the student-athletes under my supervision.

These skills will be the foundation of my leadership. Teamwork will teach everyone that we are all working for the same goal. That goal is to provide the school with the best opportunities for everyone in sports. Fairness will show that no matter what sport or activity it is everyone will be treated equally and fairly. Everyone needs to know that no matter what no one person or team will get extra perks.  Accountability makes everyone have to be involved and needed when in an extracurricular activity. Having people rely on you makes a person work a little harder knowing that they are needed. Hard work is something that shows everyone you care for them and care for what you are doing.

The final piece that I will do every day over everyone else is my passion and drive. I wake up in the morning thinking about what I can do better and how I can do it. I am the first person to work every day since I started working and one of the last ones to leave. This drive comes from living in a military family and working on a farm. I played many sports but no matter what I still had my chores to do before school and when I got home.
