How many years have you been with Special Olympics, and with which sports?
At least 20 years as father, driver, assistant coach and cheerleader. Golf, swimming, skiing, skating.
What does attending the USA Games mean to you?
It is a great honor to be Jonathan's unified partner. I look forward to documenting the entire experience and would be happy to write about it for any Special Olympics publications.
Who do you admire most?
I admire Jonathan for overcoming his disability and leading a life of purpose. I admire my wife/his mother Mary, for devoting herself to community service. And I admire my daughter/his sister Julie, for helping Jonathan throughout his life.
How are you preparing for the USA Games? We play golf and go to the driving range/putting green as much as possible -- often several times a week.
