I have one son, two daughters, and am married (to the same lovely woman since 1984 (25 years and still going)). My oldest daughter is in college studying to be a Pharmacist, my son is also in college studying to be a Pharmacist, and my youngest is a recent CSG graduate. I coached both of my daughters in Elementary, High School, and Club Volleyball. This is my 15th year coaching girls' volleyball. I played volleyball at the intramural level while in the Army and while I was in college. After college, I played in local adult volleyball leagues and tournaments for many years, both indoor and outdoor. Before I stopped playing, for 3 years I played at least 2 times a week (when it was winter we played indoor, summer we played outdoor (sand)). I certainly was never capable of an elite level of play, but I really enjoyed the time spent on the court. I am USA Volleyball CAP II and IMPACT certified (USA Volleyball CAP Info), (OVR CAP Info), (OVR IMPACT Info), and am currently a "Cap III candidate". This means I have attended the CAP III course (at the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs), but have some volleyball projects to finish before getting my CAP III certification. I love the game. I work for a locally based manufacturing corporation as a Performance and Quality Manager for Information Technology projects and services. I have a Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering from THE Ohio State University, and a Masters in Business Administration from Ashland University. In my spare time (of which I have very little), I keep my wife from divorcing me by being handy around the house (yard-work, remodeling bathrooms, kitchens, basements, laying tile, hardwood floor, etc.), plus I'm a good looking guy (and modest too)! When I'm not doing any of the above, I play guitar; lately I've been working on "getting the band back together", and we are always looking for places to play. My main "Axes" are a 1978 Cream Les Paul Custom that I run through a Marshall JCM2000-TSL100 FULL-Stack (yeah that's right, I said a full stack), and a 2004-ish Cherry ES-335 that I run through a Fender Hot-Rod Deluxe. Though recently I picked up a Marshall TSL122 combo (I like it better than the Fender for the music I play). I'll also "plunk-around" with my Blue Yamaha acoustic, but I hope to be in the market soon for a really nice Martin or a Guild (I still think the last Guild I had my hands on felt better than the Martin, but we'll see...) I admit that I can be a little goofy; but I figure life is boring if we don't have fun! ("Laughter is our weapon against the Universe!" (Mel Brooks)).
Finally, another volleyball related item that I think is cool. As part of my CAP II project I wrote an article based on one of the ways I have applied statistics to volleyball. They must have liked it because the article was one of the ones picked up by "Coaching Volleyball", which is a magazine published by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA). They published it in the July/August 2005 issue. Here are draft copies of the article, from the editor who prepped it for the magazine:
