Always enjoy capturing memories for these young men from Marquette University High School. Challenging first game but these games will make them stronger.

Just a few pre-game pics for now.

SASI Tour Part 2

Often people worry about our future... Based on my final leg of working with high school students across the country, I can tell you we are going to be absolutely fine... more than fine. We are in great hands.

So many FANTASTIC students! These kids are intelligent, empathetic, caring, kind, motivated, hard-working, and the list does not end there. Loved getting to know them and working with their amazing teachers.

Such a terrific part of my job and so glad to continue to be a part of the SASI organization.

I love my job. SASI Summer Part 1

Past 3 weeks, I have traveled 8,556 miles to work with 168 student leaders and 18 teachers from 19 different schools in 7 different cities/towns in 5 states.

While each school is unique, a few constants were clear: excited students willing to learn to help their programs and dedicated fantastic teachers working to help all their students.

So grateful for the opportunity to teach and meet so many incredible humans. What a trip!
