While in graduate school at Texas A&M University, I attended Central Baptist Church and became active in their singles department. Jennifer Smith, Assistant Volleyball Coach at Texas A&M, also attended the singles department.
On July 4, 1996, I flew Jennifer to the Statue of Liberty in New York, where I proposed. (I figured if she turned me down, I was holding her plane ticket home!) We were married on January 25, 1997, in her home town of Lamesa, Texas (population 10,000).
Growing up, Jennifer always insisted that she’d never live in Houston nor Coach volleyball at a Junior College. In 1997, she moved to Houston and landed the Head Coaching job at Galveston College! She led the school to a 45-6 record, finishing ranked #12 in the nation. Her years working with Laurie & John Corbelli at Texas A&M really paid off. The following season, her team went 37-18, finishing second in conference.
Jennifer decided to leave her coaching job and stay at home when Katy was born in 2000. She currently serves as a part-time P.E. Aide at Landolt Elementary, which allows her to continue to remain active with the boys’ schools and sports booster club activities.
