Basketball has been a major part of my life and I have been able to experience the game of basketball from all angles as a player, referee and in my professional career. I played basketball competitively through high school, which included two years at the varsity level. I was an official for eight years working primarily in youth basketball with the Brooklyn Park Athletic Association. For the past three years, I have served as the Basketball Coordinator for the cities of Golden Valley, Crystal, Robbinsdale and St. Louis Park.
