What brought you to the NFCA?: I was in Athletics Communications for 15 years and was the softball contact at Radford University. A few years after I interviewed the first time and didn't get the job, I was asked to come to Louisville for an interview and I'm still here today. Also a thank you to Mickey Dean, who pushed me to apply and interview for the job the first time around.
Favorite thing about the NFCA: The folks that work here and all the relationships I have made across the softball landscape.
