When I came to the University of Alabama in 1996, I was given all the tools to develop the volleyball program. We have an effective and ongoing recruiting program that gives us an opportunity to recruit the right kind of kids.

Syracuse University has given me a lot; this is one of the ways I can pay it back.

My volunteers are all ages. I have students from Palm Beach Atlantic University, working mothers and fathers, attorneys and retirees.

I'm kinda of numb right now. I feel excited. I want to thank everyone that helped me. There were numerous people that helped me that I can't begin to recall their names. And I want to thank my opponent for running a nice, clean race.

I have been a resident of Precinct 4 for 28 years. I want to serve in the best interest of the precinct.

Recruiting takes a lot of hard work. We're involved in some kind of recruiting 24/7 nationwide. We're already preparing offers for scholarships for 2008.
