. @DeronWinn has a @ufc fight June 18th on ESPN. I really want to show my support to a man who wants to help my child understand wrestling better. He saw my picture on twitter and raised money to get my son out to Cali this summer so he can work with him. Support Deron June 18th!

This is beyond inspirational. I posted a picture of my little boy having a rough moment while at a wrestling tournament and this man, @DeronWinn offers to help my son get to his wrestling academy from Iowa to Cali. Our world can use a lot more of this kindness. I am so grateful.

100% of the high school coaches I know only want what's best for their players and teams. Long hours, little pay and time away from their family is the sacrifice they make. Give a coach a pat on the back and it will make their day.

If you ever see this little guy at ball games he is my son, Kinnick. He is happy and handsome and full of character. He does well in school and I love him to pieces. He asked that I quit my job and become a gamer with him so I can help him get to all the next levels. Blessed ❤

God has a plan. We need to trust it. My wife and I had 4 miscarriages. One of the greatest days of my life was seeing our twins w an ultrasound in 2008. Then, one of the worst days losing them. Just when we were going to give up our little man came to us. So thankful for him. ❤

FUNNY STORY: A few years back I had a donkey that was pretty sick. I had to make an emergency call. A well Known Vet from the Aplington-Parkersburg area came. When he got there he told me that he didn't want it to get out that he was saving a Dike New Hartford coach's ass. 🤣
