Taking my Basketball Team to an NBA Game



This is what is left of the varsity and junior varsity basketball team at Lake Station High School.

We are on our way to see the Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings play at the United Center.

I was able to secure a meeting for my players to meet Brad, and a few other players, after the game .

You can view all of the pictures here.

Nephew and Uncle on the Basketball Court


Brad flew home for the NBA All-Star break to visit friends and family.

This is the basketball court that has been the site for several grudge matches between family members.

I am undefeated on my, "Home Court" against my two nephews Brad and Cory. Now I haven't played them in 14 years but I don't think that would make a difference. :)




This is Brad on the Jumbo Tron before the Bulls/Kings game this week.

Katrina Family


This is the family from New Orleans that my family has been helping after they lost their house during hurricane Katrina . Brad has been the major contributor financially. My brother Phil has helped to get things done and moving forward.

They are great people and have a powerful story to tell. You can read the latest article about their experience here. Read the article.
