Show Notes

Ever-present spectator, Girls and Boys Basketball Official, certified Volleyball official, all while finding meaning and happiness in it all.

The year was 2009, and Bob was on top of his game. Then everything - his life, reffing, all took a backseat as he suffered a heart condition during a game. In this pod, he discusses his early life playing, how he got into officiating, his come up, the aftermath of the incident, and how he is thankful in a much more meaningful way. Dedicated to his good friend Tom Merle, my conversation with Bob, now.
