About

I have been married to my loving wife Jennifer Felker since August 3rd, 2007. She has been patient in allowing me to follow my passion of coaching, which has moved us around the country several times. We currently have a dog named Truus. Jen and I enjoy spending time outside hiking, biking, and travelling to interesting places throughout the USA. 


I still actively play indoor, grass, and beach volleyball whenever I have the opportunity. I have been attending USA Volleyball Adult Nationals since it's 100th year anniversary in Holyoke, Massachusetts in 1995. It's a great yearly reunion to see people I have played volleyball with in every location around the country we have lived. 

 

I have recently earned my Doctorate of Education in Kinesiology Online ( EdD in Kin Online) from the University of North Carolina - Greensboro. I continue to learn and challenge myself to think critically about my coaching and discover better ways to teach my student-athletes.
