WHAT GOT YOU INTO COACHING? I played at Snow and I loved playing. I was going to play at a school in California, Sonoma State, as their quarterback, which was my love. But one day something just happened. I wasn't that happy with my classes, I was newly married and we were expecting our first child and my priorities just changed. I went to Utah State and Perry Christensen (then the coach at Logan High) asked me to help out in 1997. I loved it. I knew then this was it. I decided to get my teaching degree and coach. It's been a great ride.

WHY DO YOU COACH? First of all, I wake up excited about going to work every day. Not very many people that can say that. I love the interaction with the young men. I love to see them after high school. I love the camaraderie of the other coaches; it really is a lot of fun. I really enjoy teaching (Spanish), and I think interacting with young people helps me to maintain a youthful lifestyle and to feel young.

BEST ASPECT? The satisfaction of watching these young boys develop into men — good fathers, good husbands.

Worst aspect? The amount of time it takes from my family. To be successful you've got to be willing to put in 80-90 hours a week. That means missed football games, missed soccer games, missed dance recitals. It's very hard to be away.

WOULD YOU RECOMMEND COACHING TO YOUR OWN CHILDREN? For sure. I'm fortunate to have a great family life. It's not an easy job. You're not going to make lots of money. But it's definitely rewarding. It's definitely what I'm supposed to be doing. We love it.

HOW LONG? This is my 18th year.

WHAT GOT YOU INTO COACHING? I just missed my playing days (former college and pro). I worked in the business world for about five years, and then I just decided I wanted to coach.

WHY DO YOU COACH? It's what I love to do. Most of your coaches do it, because they can't play. I teach so I can coach. Coaching is really the same thing as teaching, you're just on a field.

BEST ASPECT? Just working with the kids everyday, trying to help them and teach them things that will help them in life that are related to football, related to each other.

WORST ASPECT? Most coaches would tell you time. It's a lot of hours. I don't think there's a bad aspect.

WOULD YOU RECOMMEND COACHING TO YOUR OWN CHILDREN? Yeah, if they want to put in the time. I think my son probably will coach after he finishes playing.
