In my spare time I enjoy volunteering my time to local youth sports organizations. I have coached club level and high school softball for several years and enjoy watching the young girls develop into strong contributors to their community. I also enjoy working with local community sports organization such as soccer clubs and athletic boosters. As the director of a youth travel soccer league, I grew it from 9 teams to 63 teams in a little under three years. I also developed a comprehensive facilities development plan for our local high school to revitalize their athletic facilities and turned a fall concession stand from a revenue loss generator to producing over $10,000 in profit per fall. I enjoy working on my small farm raising Nubian goats and trees from cuttings. We developed a small skin care product business utilizing the milk from the goats to produce soaps and lotions. I am now developing a herbs garden to extract our own essential oils to be used in the soaps and lotions.
