Coach Cat coached for 34 years beginning in 1982 with the St. Edward’s football team. He returned shortly to his Alma Mater at Christ the King where he coached both football and boys and girls basketball for the remainder of his life. Coach Cat believed in a solid foundation of hard work where he instilled discipline, fundamentals and respect. While he won numerous championships through the years, his greatest joy was "his Kids". He truly loved his players, seeing them compete and mature into young men and women while following them through their high school and college careers.
