The Person and The Process

I earned my Bachelors of Science degree in Choral Music Education from THE University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska where essential Midwestern values such as the importance of family, hard work, passion, and excellence were instilled in me at an early age. At Alabama I became obsessed with Nick Saban's "The Process". I must thank him and a few key others from whom I have derived my own version of The Process for my leadership and coaching career. Marvin Latimer Jr., John Ratledge, Andrew Minear, Matthew Myers, Skip Stradtman, Jordan Peterson. Thank you as your influence and principles reach more students and young human beings than the one directly under your own leadership!
