I officiate because it has always been an interesting of mine since the 3rd grade. I loved to watch those guys working in the NBA and NCAA blow whistles and get yelled at. For some reason it appealed to me. They never really let me play at school because I wasn't that great. They were like Tommy you can be the Ref. I was like ok. After that it just stuck to me. I started working ball when i was 12 doing 6 year olds and moved up after that. I was certified to do high school when I was a senior but they held my schedule since I was student. Now 21 and I a full time college student I have been doing h.s. ball for 4 years and NCAA D3 and JC mens for the past 2. I just love being out there and part of the game in very special way
