I also think back to Tom Nielsen . Darrian Daily was one of the first people who made me feel welcome in San Antonio that first year . Pam Sherratt is always a wonderful person to reach out to . Paula Sliefert has been an incredible resource . There are so many people … Abby McNeal , CSFM ; Sarah Martin , CSFM ; Nick McKenna , CSFM ; Jimmy Simpson , CSFM ; James Bergdoll , CSFM ; I could go on and on . Locally , Josh DeJong , CSFM , and Evan Fowler are like brothers to me and have become great resources . Nina Oldenkamp is an incredible person to work with , and she ’ s become an even better friend . She and I started organizing the Little League Softball World Series crew this past summer , then with Kelly Lynch and Amy Fouty , CSFM , worked hard with Chris Ball , CSFM , to get that all going . I didn ’ t really know Chris Ball leading up to the Little League Softball World Series , and he has become a close friend . With every interaction your network grows .” sportsfieldmanagementonline . com February 2023 | SportsField Management
