Earlier tonight, I participated as I usually do on Sunday night, the #scachat where I engage with athletic administrators in a weekly Twitter conversation about small college athletics. If you need more information about the chat, send me an email and I would like to have you and your input be a part of it. 

I explained that my 2017 resolution is that "I want to be a better steward of resources, both personally and professionally, to enable others to achieve their dreams." That resolution is why I have this blog and it is dedicated to help people regardless of where you are at in your professional journey.
