I have always been a “nerd”. I loved school. I loved school supplies and learning and – yeah, I was a nerd. I was in all the honors classes. I was part of The National Honor’s Society, Career and Technical Honor’s Society, Who’s Who Among American Students, I was in poetry books and all sorts of stuff. I graduated with honors from high school and from college. Academics were so important to me. I will admit, it was sometimes hard to balance school and sports, but that’s before I got old and staying up late and waking up early, was a lot easier.

I am very proud of my degree in Business Administration and Law. And eventually I’ll go back for my Masters. Eventually.
