That would be me. I was working the book and clock at military intramural and base-level games when I was a teen-ager. Sometimes both at the same time. I don't think chseagle would like me giving him pointers while I was officiating a game.

I started out as a middle school coach. I was getting sick of questioning officials and not really knowing the rules, which, you could imagine, led to many technical fouls, so I took a new officials class. I passed the test and was invited to join the board. I figured, why not? Back then, teachers, my original profession, weren't getting paid very much. My young family could use the extra cash. I did both for about twenty-five years until the "helicopter parents" finally got to me. No more coaching. I'll never look back.

So when are we getting together to do a game? I love a challenge.
