  I handle our marketing with coaches and athletes with the intention of making a discovery that can either lead to the development of new features or to improvement of existing features.Before that, I played softball at Briar Cliff University and coached for 7 years. Through out my life l have enjoyed coaching kids not only about the game but how the game can impact their lives in many different ways. Therefore, I am so excited about Gaugestage. Gagestage is an innovative way to change the way sports people network, and the plus is I get to continue to look for opportunities to help more people!! Show less
