One of my mentors told me to “ALWAYS leave a place BETTER than you found it”. With that, I am out & say “thank you” to the 2018

When your flight gets canceled @ 11:00pm but spring break plans w/the fam start @ 8:30am on Saturday, you head back to long term & drive thru the night. Pulled in on time & haven't stopped! 37 hours & counting w/out sleep! F.A.M.I.L.Y. Forget About Me, I Love/Sacrifice for You.
Now safely east of the Mississippi,
I can officially cross “Live in Lubbock, TX”

To the people of West Texas, you will ALWAYS have a fan in this New Yorker.

The S.T. Coordinator works with the entire team & with the entire staff.
His job is to build RELATIONSHIPS across a roster, to COMMAND a room, to CREATE a CULTURE and to INSPIRE & MOTIVATE players to do things they didn’t “sign up to do”.
Who is better suited to LEAD a team?
Great to see Special Teams Coordinators get Head Coaching opportunities. Especially Coach Riz!Players love him because he commands respect from everyone!He’s relatable from the practice squad player to the highest paid guy. He always had us prepared. Pray you get your shot Riz ✊🏿
3 short days in Lubbock.

Spring Practices 1 and 2.
2 Junior Days. 3 stitches in my chin.
