About Me
I've said this before and I'll say it again: There is so much more to football than x's and o's. When I went to college, under coach Bobby Hauck's system, I grew up from a boy to a man. The structure, the accountability of being on time, he instilled that into me. My coaches, the way they coached me, they guided me. And that made me feel like I wanted to coach. I played safety for the Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans, and when I retired, I didn't know what I wanted to do next. But when you consider the impact my coaches had on me, it's something I could never fully repay, but I always try to give back.
This game has given my family so much. Football is something I don't know where my life would be without it. That's the feeling and mindset I want every Marauders football player to experience — in addition to winning. I am extremely honored to be the next head coach of the University of Mary Marauders and humbled by the trust bestowed upon me to take on this tremendous responsibility.
Why I’m At MaryI've always admired and respected this university from afar, and now, by the grace of God, I am blessed to help impact for the better — along with our football coaches — the lives of young men as part of our athletics-wide efforts to instill Greatness through Virtue.
