    For the last 10+ years Steve Cochran is the person I’ve spent the most time with…and the math is not really close. On my first recruiting trip in WBB he was there beside me. He introduced me to people and empowered me like I had 20 years of experience already. Little did I know

    It’s easy to focus on what COVID has TAKEN away from us...days like today help remind what we’ve been GIVEN. ▪️Time with these two is tops on my list Gameday 2018 vs Gameday 2020 By far the most time I’ve ever been able to spend with them❤️

    Using the recruiting shutdown this week to help our elderly neighbor with her truck load of mulch. Gave me flashbacks to my college/high school days of never ending manual labor. 🙄☹ Fortunate for the lessons that taught me. #dontforgetwhereyoucamefrom
