“I have loved the sport for as long as I can remember.  I want to help young people to have that same love of the sport and for them to stay involved as they get older.  Whether they coach, officiate, run tournaments, or play for fun.  I believe in sharing positivity and inclusiveness. I am thrilled to be a part of NWAS for the upcoming season.  I have found my family and look forward to sharing it with the Eugene/Springfield area.”
