Senior running back Ethan Amyx fits the bill as a main man for the West Ridge Wolves.

“He’s a crazy athlete,” said teammate Kaleb Mabb “He’s one of the best in the area, for sure.”

This morning, I woke up to this beautiful sight — a sky painted by sunrise, with an X marking the spot.

You don’t need a perfect map to be moving the right way.

Have you ever wondered, “Why is this information being shared now? I never received it before?”Transparency isn’t just about timing—it’s about honesty. Sharing info to cover gaps isn’t real transparency. Real transparency includes the “why.” Let’s lead with clarity and integrity!

I love March Madness! It proves preparation & perseverance create victories. “Ready yourself for victories.”Stay true, keep pushing, and rise! #MarchMadness #KeepMovingForward #UnderdogMentality

Someone asked me about building a positive culture, and today’s conversation summed it up. I asked, “Would you be mad if I denied your request?” The response? “I’ll be a little upset, but that’s OK.” That says it all! Trust, respect, and open dialogue make great teams.

Had a great leadership conversation today and walked away with this thought: Integrity and friendship go hand in hand. True friendships are built on honesty and trust, and those who uphold integrity attract the right people. To have both is a blessing! #Leadership

Sunday Reflection: I want to be the kind of leader that others don’t fear but love. That’s the difference between those who simply fall into a leadership role and those who *earn* it. When you earn it, you understand how to treat people—with respect, empathy, and purpose.

It’s just a “Thursday Thing” at West Ridge! Wishing him all the best. Stay strong and keep pushing forward! #WolfpackStrong #WestRidgePride

We are beyond grateful for the incredible counselors at West Ridge High School! ❤️ Each of you is a true blessing, and your compassion and guidance set a beautiful example of what it means to be a great human.

West Ridge is so lucky to have you!

Sunday Reflection:
As we reflect on the week ahead, remember that leadership is not a one-way street. It’s a partnership. When you show your people that you are with them in both good times and bad, they will remain by your side in return, ready to face whatever comes together.
