Cool Stuff I Did in High School Had a great time hanging out with all the SLO gang. (Caligari, Andrews, Coy, Rand, Coop, Toaster man, Grease, Hugh, Critch, Rich, Scott, Lang and to many others to mention.)

Enjoyed the keggers, crusing SLO downtown on Thursday nights, Eds Take Out at lunch, Friday nights at Cuesta Park and rafting down the river on the weekends.

Cool Stuff I've Done in the Last 30 Years I played pro basketball in Melbourne, Australia. I had a wonderful career as a teacher, athletic director, superintendent-principal and was a varsity boys basketball Coach for three different high schools. My teams won three different league championships and have appeared in numerous CIF games. I received "Coach of the Year" awards three different times, and one "All Area Coach of the Year" award. I have received California Distinguished Principal awards for the high school and elementary levels. I have also received the Channel 12 Crystal Apple Award as "Administrator of the Year" for Santa Barbara County. Currently, I currently run a basketball academy and coach a local girls varsity basketball team. We took second place last year and went to the CIF Quarterfinals where we lost in double overtime. My son Matt is in the Marines. Chaz my other son enjoys basketball, softball, and golf. My daughter Courtney plays the piano, cheerleads and plays softball. My wife Patti is a teacher and a wonderful mom. I feel very blessed.
