I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to continue to coach at Jenks and I truly appreciate the support of my family, Jenks Public Schools administration, and the entire community. I would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of love and support and the reminder of why I came to Jenks 20 years ago. This is truly a family and I am grateful to stay at home."
