This is my first blog and my first day in my new office at Majestic Plaza in Carmel, Indiana. I am happy to be here and it does feel like a second home.

My Weekend:

Over the weekend I had a fun moment when my son's assisant soccer coach came up to me and said that she wanted me to help her out this week while the head coach is gone. She said that I had a 'good way with the kids'.

My son jokingly said: "She needs to talk to me first."

My wife laughed as it has been a running joke that I tend to be very loud at the sporting events of my kids. She said: "she must have heard you yelling on the sidelines."

I argue that I am more quiet when I am a head coach because I have more input. This has been true, but usually I am an assistant coach because I have three boys who are all in activities and my wife has an unforgiving work schedule which means I have to be available for much of the transportation between activities. Indeed, this week my oldest son has a game the same time as my middle son's first practice this week and then a game an hour after his second practice this week.

Anyway, I was flattered and I will try to help out as much as I can.
