I first met him when my son was coming up in the youth leagues in Montgomery County, and Coach was working with the kids and working as the PE teacher/Middle School Coach at Christiansburg Middle. He had some really good kids, some not-so-gifted kids, some great wrestling kids, some challenging kids in that program, and some of both!. He worked with them all equally and gracefully. My son and his buddies were some of the very best to come out of Christiansburg High School, and a lot of that was due to the solid fundamentals that Coach gave them. (He gave them some flare, too, but he gave them the base to grow on.) I spent a lot of time with him on the wrestling trips, bingo, and practices. He's a good one! And so is Julia!
