Good story being from St. Louis I actually remember this guy being drafted.

I think he would of rather kept playing but it looks like his knees wouldn't hold out. Glad to see him roll into something he likes.

Thanks for sharing the article.

Glad it's working out for him. Being happy is the key. I worked with an adult entertainment star who tried to leave her career to become and IT pro. I don't think she has what it takes but she seems to be happy trying. That's all that matters.

As a big sports fan I've seen many stories about athletes struggling to find a direction in their life after their career and it's nice to see stories like this. I remember reading a thread here about a guy using Bernie Kosar as a fake name on his resume, as a big fan of his back in the day, that got me really excited until I read into it a bit. He's an example of struggling to find life after an athletic career.

Bokeh: I just read a 'small world' thread and immediately thought about you, it's really a small world for us. For people wondering Bokeh and I live about a mile apart.
