To know he’s giving the freshmen a great start to their high school football career. To be able to trust him to treat kids well and to make sure they enjoy the game, that the very first high school experience is through him and to get kids to want to come back for more is a blessing.” Salad City Classic Lifetime Achievement Award (Hudsonville) 2018; Hudsonville Athletic Boosters Eagle Legacy Award 2018; Hudsonville High School Hall of Fame 2018.
