Digger Discusses: 

-  Some additional memories from his time as a player at San Diego State, including his recollection of how talented Duncan McFarland was, not to mention his other talented teammates he is honored to have played alongside with,  how he transitioned from his playing career to the real world as a High School Teacher and Coach , including coaching volleyball for the girls program at Hoover HS in San Diego, and recruiting Tod Mattox to help coach, and the LIFELONG friendship he's had with him since,  his time coaching the women's team  at Grossmont College,  and how grateful he was to be a part of the collegiate sport during the implementation of Title IX, and  when women's volleyball became a NCAA sport in  '81, his next coaching  endeavor at UCSD for the Tritons men's program, and getting to compete against storied programs like UCLA, USC, and Pepperdine, to name a few,  the "real life" moment he came to as a husband and father living in Cardiff teaching and coaching, working 18 hours a day and commuting a hour all over the place, (even though he loved every minute of it), and making the  decision to relocate to Walla Walla, Washington to become an English Teacher and high school girls volleyball coach so his family could have a better quality of life,  what he is doing now career wise with his Socratic Seminars across the country, his amazing family - wife April, daughter Erin, and son Kevin,  who the best hitters, diggers, and setters were from his era, and what he is most proud of from his career as a player, coach, and educator.....
