I love the sports.

I love the people involved (players, most of the coaches, most of the fans, nearly all of my co-officials) and enjoy being around them in their moments of competition.

I love what I receive from officiating and what I'm able to give back to players, coaches, fans, and officials with whom I work.

When I have gone through times without officiating, I missed it dearly.

The mental and physical challenge of athletic preparation, participation, and competition at an "excellent" level provide a variety of life that keeps me feeling younger, even as I get older, and helps me move through life with a vigor and excitement that is exceeded only by my faith and my family.

The bottom line for me: Officiating is just plain fun and enjoyable.
