"I’ve had the privilege of knowing Glenn since I was a child, and his influence has made a lasting impact on my career. 

He first coached me in football when I was young, and those practices were no joke (he brought his Marine drills to the field). 

It was tough, disciplined, and demanding, but it taught me early what hard work, accountability, and mental toughness really meant.

As I transitioned into my professional life, he continued to mentor me through career decisions, personal development, and leadership. His guidance helped me build the mindset and discipline required to succeed in high-pressure environments. 

Today, I’m the top sales rep on my team at my current company, and I credit a major part of that to the foundational principles he instilled and the mentorship he’s continued to provide.

He doesn’t just teach effort, he expects excellence. And he leads by example in a way that stays with you long after the conversation ends. I’m grateful for everything he’s done to shape my growth both personally and professionally.

"I’ve had the privilege of being coached and mentored by Glenn since I was 8 years old, and I can say without hesitation that he has played a pivotal role in shaping not only my athletic journey but my personal and professional development as well. One of the very first lessons Glenn instilled in us was rooted in a simple but powerful acronym: RED – Respect, Execute, Discipline. 

These three principles became the foundation of how we approached not only baseball and football, but life itself. Glenn taught us to respect one another and the game, to execute our roles with focus and commitment, and to carry ourselves with the discipline necessary to grow and succeed.

Throughout high school, Glenn was more than just a coach, he was a mentor and a guide. Whether we were on the baseball field or the football field, his dedication to our growth went far beyond wins and losses. He pushed us to be better athletes, better teammates, and better people.

Even after high school, when I moved on to college, Glenn remained a steady and supportive presence in my life. He brought me under his wing once again, this time teaching me the ins and outs of fitness, nutrition, and personal wellness. His knowledge, patience, and encouragement were instrumental in helping me stay focused, healthy, and driven during those formative years.

Today, as a professional in the workforce, I often reflect on the lessons Glenn taught me, lessons about discipline, leadership, perseverance, and integrity. I genuinely credit much of who I’ve become to the influence and example he set over the years. Glenn is not only a remarkable coach, he is a mentor, a teacher, and a true leader. I am incredibly grateful for the impact he has had on my life.
