I have been coaching baseball for 10 years at various levels. The last 5 with Coach Walker at Liberty and now at Mountainview. It has been a great experience learning from one of the best. Up until this past year I Coached Football and Basketball at the High School level as well. I am very excited to be a part of the Mountainview program. Being the C-Team coach gives me a chance to teach the basics of Coach Walkers' system and watch the program succeed from the ground up. My wife Kim and I live in Sammamish. We have one son (Stuart) playing baseball in College and two (Levi & Brady) in Junior High School. Most of my athletic success has been on the football field. I was a member of the 1978 Husky Rose Bowl team led by Warren Moon. We beat a heavily favored Michigan team 27-20. I was a Wide Out and graduated in 1980 with a degree in Sociology. Was in several NFL camps but could never stay healthy and gave up my dream in 1984. My wife is a Montana grad and has been at Boeing for 18 years.
