My Time as a Volleyball Dad


Life is a series of cycles and so is being a father. Being a volleyball dad is one of the most rewarding and challenging things I have had the privilege of experiencing.

Favorite moments

  1. Everytime she hit line from the 5 position.
  2. Sharing the livestreams with family and friends who couldn’t travel with the team.

Hardest Things

Lessons Learned

Videotape (like the song)

Would do differently

Wouldn’t change for all of the resources in the asteroid belt.
