Teaching is great, coaching is fun – BUT his absolute FAVORITE thing to do is spend time with his family because they are SO MUCH FUN to hang out with. He definitely married up to his beautiful wife Maura and they have two awesome kiddos, James (3) & Lincoln (6), who are SUPER cool, always perfectly well behaved, obedient and never even think about being disrespectful to their parents … jk 😉
