The basketball coach cut me within two days, so I was back in the pool. I was the first one in the wall after the first 25 yards, but the last one out because I didn't have a flip turn.

Most exciting for me was to make the Pro Bowl in 14 of 15 years.

It took me a while to realize that basketball wasn't football.

After a few games I knew I was going to be able to compete. The idea of being a star never crossed my mind.

I was always the last one chosen for football games in Central Park.

I had a hockey puck and stick-the only ones in town. I definitely would have played hockey ahead of football, had it been available.

The focus of my life begins at home with family, loved ones and friends. I want to use my resources to create a secure environment that fosters love, learning, laughter and mutual success. I will protect and value integrity. I will admit and quickly correct my mistakes. I will be a self-starter. I will be a caring person. I will be a good listener with an open mind. I will continue to grow and learn. I will facilitate and celebrate the success of others.
