He played hockey from a very early age, starting off as a center before switching to goaltender, playing for his high school, and then going on to become a goalie coach and ultimately head coach. He then spent approximately two decades as a referee for the Michigan Hockey Association of United States. He has also written multiple books, including, “Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You,” which was a Number 1 Amazon bestseller and is a Christian book with a baseball sub-thread. He also hosts his own show, called, “Christi-Tutionalist Politics,” which has a sub-heading of ‘Christian and U.S. Constitution.’ He also talks about being both a cancer survivor and a suicide survivor.
Notable guest quotes:
“Born into a Catholic family… I did attend Catechism classes in the summers so that I would have introduction or involvement in both the world and the faith realms of education.”
“Six years old, I think I was, when I was first put on skates.”
“All sports – if you have the right mentorship, the right coaches, the right, even, officials – teaching morality. Sportsmanship matters, right? Being a good human being, a good Christian. Being there for the right reasons and treating each other well.”
“At the end of the day there has to be and should be that shaking hands at the end of the game, camaraderie, win or lose, good effort, that sort of thing.”
“God works in mysterious ways… the (Damar) Hamlin incident, they all came out and kneeled in prayer. Thank God… that brought that back, that sportsmanship – kneeling to God in prayer.”
“My writings… are a calling… I feel they are not of me, they are from me, they are through me.”
“Life over death, hope over fear, faith over despair, love over hate, good over evil.”
“Before Covid, churches would do festivals to raise money… ‘cause you can get monies out of non-believers. I dealt blackjack at the Vegas tents for many a church, including my own.”
