Most of you know me as a photographer with a unique flair. To my Courthouse Vikings football team, I'm just "Coach Keith". For twenty years in the navy, I've coached and trained sailors how to be successful and make a difference. Today, I coach and train 9 & 10 year old boys, under Coach Devin Mack, on team building, endurance training and being good kids. Before my weddings, you will find me not with a camera but with a clip board with defensive schemes. Despite a 1-5 record, our gritty kids have one of the toughest defenses in the league. As the defensive coordinator, we shut down the division leading Redskins to zero offensive touchdowns in the half and held the 5-0 Bengals scoreless in the second half yesterday. My son Brandon went down with a knee injury the first week of the season. When he's healthy, he is a difference maker. Yesterday, he intercepted a pass and ran 40 yards for a touchdown. Win or loose, what's important to me is making a diffence in these fine young men. Whether they go on to be professional athletes or not, I'm confident they they will continue to make a difference and be fine young men in the process. That's the real victory.
