Q:What are some goals you have for you individually and as a team?

A:Well  one of my goals as a coach is to try to have a culture or set the tone for the culture for the football team and the football program as a whole. I want to make it a positive culture that kids will want to be involved in. A big goal of mine is to try to teach beyond football. I use football to teach life. It is a game about life. The goal for the team is to keep improving each week. 

Q: What is your favorite part of the Pella community?
