Position: Vice President MCLA
Home Town: Utah
Officiating Experience:

I have been an active member of NILOA for many years and most of my assignments are MCLA games since I am in district 9. I am currently the assistant governor for district 9 under Bill Johansen. My lacrosse experience has included working numerous MCLA championship tournaments and being assigned the D1 championship games in 2008 and 2013, I also worked the D2 championship games as well.  I also was selected to try out for the 2014 World Championships in Denver and was selected to work the games. I am currently the president of the Utah Lacrosse Officials Association. I have completed the US Lacrosse certification as a trainer and observer, as well as have been a LAREDO clinician for the past 5 years. I feel that I could bring a lot of experience to the NILOA board on the MCLA side that would be helpful in this position. I also have experience as a division one football official for the past 20 years, and believe that experience would be a benefit as well.
