As I begin my time as Executive Director of the UHSAA, I want to start by saying how grateful I am for the opportunity to serve the students, schools and communities across the state of Utah.
I’ve spent much of my career around high school activities as a coach, educator and administrator, and I’ve seen firsthand the impact they can have on young people. Stepping into this role, my priority is simple: listen, learn and be a voice for our schools.
I truly believe high school activities are the purest form of competition on the planet. At the heart of it, it’s still about the love of the game, representing your school and community, and creating experiences that stay with students for a lifetime.
Whether it’s a Friday night football game with an entire community in the stands or a Tuesday afternoon tennis match, those moments matter to the students competing. Every sport. Every activity. Every school.
That’s why I’m excited about our extended partnership with KSL Sports and the opportunity to showcase more of our incredible students and schools across Utah. It gives parents, grandparents, relatives, friends and fans, wherever they may be, more ways to celebrate what these students are accomplishing.
Utah is unique, and so are the needs of our schools. From the Wasatch Front to rural Utah, and across our public, private and charter schools, I want to make sure we’re listening to voices from every corner of our state.
There’s something incredibly special about high school activities in Utah. I’m honored to have the opportunity to serve, and I’m excited to get to work.
