On September 27, 2019 I was given the honor of being added to my high school Pocono Mountain Senior High School Atletic Hall of Fame. This was a big minestone for me mostly because it was unexpected. To hear my coach and others speak of my athletic acheivements was a very nice feeling. What made it extra special was that my wife, daughter, brothers, family, and friends who I hadn't seen in almost 20 years were there to support me the same way they did in High School. That entire day was amazing. I was able to run the same morning run that I did while I was trying to get into college. The campus grounds keepers allowed me to run on the track which now has a rubberized surface. The biggest take away of that evening was being permitted to bring my daughter to walk the field with me while I was being announced of my achievements during the half-time of rival football game against Pleasent Valley. Which Pocono Mountain WON!
To know that my plaque will be on the wall of Pocono Mountain High School, and my family name recognized Pennsylvania Senate and House of Respesentatives for having outstanding achievements is trult an honor.
The Awards Presented by Senator Mario Scavello:
One of the greatest experience was being part of my college track and field time. There is no better feeling than working as a unified team to accomplish a goal. We did that and we all knew that we did it together.
