The End of an Era...

I am very sad to report that Derek is finished coaching (for now), this has been a wild, emotional roller coaster of a season, that unfortunately is over. For many years, Derek has put his heart and soul into coaching Junior College kids, trying to help them become better basketball players and better people, being there for them when their own families are not. He loves the sport and he loves the kids. Shoreline has taken from him something that he loves, the school is dysfunctional from top to bottom, especially within the atheletic department. Coaches there are set up to fail. They are paid a measly salary that barely covers the cost of working there.


Derek has been interviewing for the past several weeks, and accepted a job at Inlighten, we are both excited for a new opportunity, and with our baby on the way, this offers a lot more stability for us financially.

I love my husband and love watching him coach and am sad that this chapter is over for now. We will have to wait and see what the future holds for us ....
