Since this is the first post, it'd probably be best if I do a little reflection as well as a look into what's ahead. This past May I graduated from Corban College in Salem, Oregon with a B.S. in Business Management. I thoroughly enjoyed my time down at Corban and met a lot of great people and was really able to experience "my college experience."
Since graduating I haven't spent much time at home in Portland, rather traveling thousands of miles and hitting about every western state in the process. First, over to Boise to visit my future home as well as help Kelly drive down to Scottsdale, Arizona, where I got to spend some time with her family. There I had the privilege to travel with them to Avon, Colorado. We had a great trip and got to check out places that I had only heard about prior.
From there it was back to Portland for awhile and then off to work some basketball camps. First to Boise State, then Stanford and finally Oregon's. The camps were a lot of fun and long days but I met a lot of great people and really learned a lot about what it takes to be a college basketball coach.
The past month, I have spent time in Pocatello visiting the grandparents (playing lots of golf), spending some time in Seattle and hanging out with the family and Kelly in Portland. I am going to miss the fam a lot.
My summer is now coming to a close but before it does I am heading down to Santa Barbara to work Michael Jordan's kids camp for ten days. It should be an amazing experience and the chance to meet and hang with my childhood idol is something I could only dream of as a little guy. I will surely have updates on what he's like!
Upon my return from SB, I will be in Portland for a day and then moving to Boise to start the next chapter in my life. I will be a graduate assistant in Boise State's Athletic department working with the sports marketing team. While working, I will be getting my masters in athletic administration. I am looking forward to this amazing opportunity and am excited to see what God has planned out for me these next couple of years.
That's all for now. If you have read enough to last a lifetime please don't feel forced to put yourself through this torture ever again.
