About

I not only endured a long 20 year professional career, but along that fantastic path I met some incredible coaches and managers. My career taught me that hardwork does payoff, sacrifice and dedication to off ice workouts pay huge dividends. I am continually looking to incorporate all my strengths in all activities I do. Family is very important to me and my boys are all in college and doing well. I'm looking forward to my next challenge with great enthusiasm.
