I am originally from North Dakota which is where my love of hockey began as a passionate fan of the UND Fighting Sioux that continues to this day. When I eventually settled in the Puget Sound area, I immediately became a fan of the Seattle Thunderbirds, having attended numerous games in their various venues over the years. When my son Oliver began playing hockey with EYH a few years back, I became a Silvertips fan for good. I enjoy watching hockey at all levels, love talking hockey, and want to do what I can to help grow the game in the area.
