Look at me in the “other” set of stripes…

I love all the zebra uniforms!

Some of you may know, I’m somewhat of an self-proclaimed officiating NUT! In addition to football (which I’m most passionate about), I also officiate basketball and fast-pitch softball. I’ve even considered lacrosse and volleyball at different points.

Check out my personal blog for a recent photo of my and my partner just prior to the 2008-09 Bullitt County 13-15 Boy’s Championship game.

You know its like when you really love your favorite eating establishment…

you want to bring all your friends and family there to eat. You brag about how good the food is, you make recommendation off the menu. You might even know the wait staff or the chef.

Well recently I shared a some of the early interview transcripts with a few fellow officials and asked for some feedback on the content. Was it relevant, useful, or inspiring? Did my idea make sense? Was I barking up the wrong tree (or cold-trailing as my grandpa used to call it when we rabbit hunted together)?

Here is what two of my pals said about it:

“This book is a great help ,whether you are just getting into officiating or have been in it for a while. I recieved great insight as far as advancing in levels as well as how to handle family, jobs and other priorites. Thanks for writing this book, it will be invaluable for future football officals.”

– Bill Green, Louisville, KY

and here is one more:

“With a Who’s Who of football officiating, this book is a must-read for every football official around the world. The information contained in this book will help everyone from the first year pee-wee official to the one at the top of the officiating world.”

–Grant Jackson, Conway, AR

I hope football officials everywhere are enjoying this work, the interviews and at some point in the very near future…the book “READY FOR PLAY”
