In the Beginning........

I am pretty excited to be finally doing this. I have already benn writing a blog on the argonauts website and although its not as often as I'd like, it is still rewarding to share my experiences. I would have expected more comments on some of the things I talked about but I'm not sure why I've only recieved a few including a response having nothing to do with the blog but rather an attack on our off season changes.

Guess thats expected.

I started with the Argonauts at the age of 14 as a water boy helping the team with the locker room duties. I gradually moved into a variety of positions spending a majority of my Argo tenure under the guidance of Equipment Manager, Danny Webb.
Last year I, as well as Danny celebrated our 25th year with the team. I reflected on where I have come from a 14 year old boy a victim of bullying, just wishing to put on a football helmet in a Toronto high school to now being able to share my stories with students across the GTA accompanied by members of the Toronto Argonauts. I have had an opportunity to manage and facilitate, the Argo Recess, Level the Playing Field and Huddle Up Bullying Prevention Program, all of which are making an impact in the lives of youth.
Many have told me that I should document my life behind the scenes and particularly with these programs. Often people have said that the Argonauts have made an impact in many lives, however very few have realized how those we come in contact with through all our community work have affected us in many ways.

This blog will be my current experiences with the team and memoirs of my 26 years.

I hope you find this as enjoyable as I will.

Thanks for reading.
