Assistant Track And Field Coach

I have been retired since 2017, but have kept busy with Coaching and volunteering, plus training 

 I’ve completed volunteer work in many areas — archaeology, trail maintenance, interpretation, field guide, general work, community development, wildlife protection, environmental, coaching, research, cave exploration and many other areas. My current and upcoming projects — helping reduce invasive plants and work later this year at Forfar Field Center in the Bahamas (I am an Alumni). I've got to see and experience many areas people would love just as a vacation, but I've got to be right in the mix helping with our Natural resources. I plan to continue for life.
