Who inspires you?
I'm inspired every day by the students I teach and the players that I coach.
What do you love about Rochester?
One of the things I love about Rochester is that at the same time it can be 20 minutes from anywhere I want to be locally and no more than 6 hours from anywhere I want to go outside of town.
What piece of writing has moved or inspired you?
"The Scarlet Ibis" a short story written by James Hurst. It's a story that has stuck with me ever since I read it for the first time. The imagery left a permanent impression on my mind. I always think of my brother when I'm reminded of this story.
