This year will be my first year to officiate. I did basketball over the summer and I will do football and basketball this year.
I decided to start officiating for a couple of reasons:
1) Dad did it for 20 years, and I always enjoyed watching him work. He was good at it and brought a level of professionalism and respect to the crew that I hope to be able to duplicate.
2) I was heavily involved in sports in high school, but opted out in college to pursue other activities. I miss it and want to be active in sports again.
3) I can make extra money doing something I enjoy.
