My longest trip ever for a HS baseball game. ⚾️ I had Newton at Maize varsity double header. Had a great time! 🤝 @KSHSAA
Worked a 5U soccer game with my favorite partner this afternoon. ⚽️ We went with our purple shirts and he used a purple whistle. Had a hot day, but he did great and we had a fun time. ☀️
Took the family along so we could hang out a bit and they could go play while I umpired a couple varsity softball games in Olathe. 🥎 Getting warm out there, but had a great time with some good teams. ☀️ @KSHSAA
Had a great time working varsity baseball in Manhattan today. ⚾️ Good ballgames, great coaches, players and fans on both sides. 🤝 Got them in before we all blew away. 💨 @CoachStinnett12 @MHSusd383 @KSHSAA
Got to umpire on the brand new baseball field at Mission Valley High School today. ⚾️ Cold and windy out there, but people on both teams were great and the field looks terrific. 👌🏻 @KSHSAA
Got to umpire my first ever college baseball today — JV DH between Friends University and Ottawa University. ⚾️ Had a good day and felt great to get the first one under my belt. 🤝
My coaching life looks a little different these days. 🏀 Wouldn’t trade it. 💙 6U Topeka Skunks 🦨
Fun night with the boy at @MonsterJam in Kansas City. 💙
Ellie’s first @IchabodWBB game today. 🏀☝🏻
First time working HS basketball by myself. 🏀 My partner was late and got there mid 2Q. I was alone on the court for a while, but I had support in the stands. Took the family since I only had one game today. Good coaches, excellent sportsmanship by players and fans. 🤝 @KSHSAA
The only right answer: Wrigley. @Cubs Although we visited 4 @MLB stadiums, 3 @MiLB stadiums and 2 @AA_Baseball stadiums this summer alone. More to come in ‘24. ☀️⚾️

Bryant likes going to rules and area meetings with me, so this wasn’t his first — but it was his first time filling out his own card. 🩵 @KSHSAA
Third time wearing the white hat, second this season. Great night for football with some good partners. 🤝🏈 @KSHSAA
Week 5: Tonganoxie at Bonner Springs 🏈 @KSHSAA
Second time ever as white hat, first in HS game — JV between JC Harmon and Highland Park. 🏈 Had a good time with three great partners, including my Friday night white to help me out. 🤝 @KSHSAA @JohnDehan

So true. But the reward of being an official is so worth it. So many of my close friends are officials. It's a great fraternity. Reach out to your local officials assoc if you want to be apart of the 3rd team. @ksoasports @KSHSAA
