...career, which was in many ways very self-destructive. When I left the business, I spent all my time with my son Scott, who at the time was a young kid. We were attached at the hip. Scott's everything to me. I coached his Little League and soccer teams full time for six years...
...Men’s soccer, led by a youth movement with veteran leadership (always a strong combination), made its first NCAA appearance in five years on the strength of eight shutouts during the regular season.

The Madrid Community Sports Stadium, as viewed from the M-40 highway, positively erupts from the ground. A dramatic arc of stadium seating soars out of the grassy meadow, made all the more striking by its elevation above the compressed and linear stands below. The mass concrete is an architectural feat; it is as functional as it is an intense visual statement. The stadium obviously served as the inspiration for the main track and field stadium for the 2000 Sydney Olympics...
