I started as an official in basketball in 1987. Absolutely loved it and couldn't see myself doing anything else. A buddy convinced me to take up volleyball a few years later. I still do that. A few years back, I injured a calf muscle and my legs can't take the pounding on the basketball court anymore. I grew up in a Fastpitch softball hotbed in the 70's, so I took up FP softball about 6 years ago. Best move I ever made as an official. I still do volleyball, but only HS in the fall. I am fortunate to live in an area where I can call softball year-round. The two sports that I do (volleyball and softball) are different enough that I can study and apply the rules of each effectively.
