Never Forget… where we are now…
I wrote this on my public facebook page this morning, and thought it was worth a share on my blog: At about this time 13 years ago I was sitting in my office in Central City, KY glued to the TV screen with several other employees. Less than an hour before I had been on […]

NubAbility All Sports camp was awesome!
So several months ago my Jiu Jitsu trainer and myself were selected to be wrestling coaches at NubAbility’s All Sports Camp.
