Nice enough guy, and with some mechanics tweaking, will be a decent HS umpire. However, was a bit taken aback by this statement in our pregame: "I've got my clicker and my plate brush to dust off the rubber between innings!" Sigh...I told him that's great, but please don't clean off the rubber in a HS game...

Glad to see that that happens in your part of the state, too. LOL
