Passing of Joe Bolarinho

Peacefully in his home, surrounded by his loving family,on Tuesday August 25th, 2009, at the age of 55 Joe Bolarinho passed away after a long fight with liver cancer. Joe was the caretaker at Regiopolis-Notre Dame High School in Kingston (my highschool) for the past 32 years and a friend to anyone who he came in contact with. Being an athlete and spending vast amounts of time after after school waiting for practice, I remember Mr. Bolarinho always being there, to help with whatever we needed with. He wasn't a teacher so he didn't treat the students like students! It was quite alright to joke around with Mr. Bolarinho and he treated everyone with respect.
R.I.P. Mr. Bolarinho

Assistant Coach of the McMaster Mens Volleyball Team

Well it's now official. I have accepted an employment position as well as the assistant coaching role at McMaster University.

I am currently the Marketing Coordinator for Athletics and Recreation. What that means is I will trying to bring greater awareness to athletics from the student body and community. The MSU and Athletics and Recreation already have a lot of great ideas. It will be my responsibility to make these ideas a reality.

As for coaching, I will be learning from my long term coach and friend Dave Preston. This is shaping up to be a pretty fun year as aside from our regular season, we've got matches in Kingston, California and British Columbia.

Only two weeks away and much to do to keep me excited.
