I am from West Texas. I grew up in the towns of Seminole, Odessa, and San
Angelo. So, the Austin experience is a new and strange thing for me.
I graduated from Angelo State University in December of 2006 with my degree
in Liberal Arts. My focus was History. I love it. All aspects of history
facinate me.
I also learned to play rugby while in college. I also became a certified
USA Rugby Coach while in college. I also currently play rugby with the Austin
Huns here in town as well as coach the Stony Point Rugby Club. This game is a
passion of mine.
Whatever you are, be a good one.

Perhaps one thing that has helped in achieving my goals is that I sincerely
believe in what I do, and get great pleasure from it. I feel very fortunate
because I can do what I love to do.

My hope is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here.

Life's like a movie, write your own ending.
Keep believing, keep pretending.
We've done just what we set out to do.
Thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and you.

In our country, true teams rarely exist . . . social barriers and personal
ambitions have reduced athletes to dissolute cliques or individuals thrown
together for mutual profit . . . Yet these rugby players. with their muddied,
cracked bodies, are struggling to hold onto a sense of humanity that we in
America have lost and are unlikely to regain. The game may only be to move a
ball forward on a dirt field, but the task can be accomplished with an
unshackled joy and its memories will be a permanent delight. The women and
men who play on that rugby field are more alive than too many of us will ever
be. The foolish emptiness we think we perceive in their existence is only our
own.
