First, can you let readers know what you’ve been doing since your time in the NFL and how you got involved in this post-NFL direction?

I’m trying to help young players to be professionals – to maximize their true potential. I started a training school to help develop players’ skill sets for their specific positions. Giving them the X’s and O’s at the high school level. If I had that coming up I’d have been twice as good as I was. I’m trying t change the culture in Minnesota at the high school level for football training, here in my home away from home.

I work now for the PCA – Packaging Corporation of America here in Pittsburgh. I have two sons – eight and six – and enjoy spending time with them and coaching them in their sports. They are making me proud – they play baseball, t-ball……

Are you  considering getting more involved in coaching?

I love coaching. I get so much joy out of it. My football days are done now but I still love football. I would love to coach football for a high school, college or the NFL.

First, can you let readers know about your post-NFL career and your new coaching job at Albany. What made you decide to become a coach?

It just seems like a natural progression to go from player to coach. Even though it has been a few years since I last played, I was just waiting for the right fit. When my buddy, Greg Gattuso, was announced as head coach, I knew this would be my golden opportunity to become a full time coach. Took all of three seconds for me to commit when Greg called.

First, can you let readers know about your career at Brownstone -how you got started in this post-NFL venture? 

I started in the real estate business full time in 1993 after my football career ended.  I went to work for my father in law as a sales person for Brownstone Real Estate Company in Hershey, PA and became his partner in the development business.  While we developed several residential communities I worked as a sales person for 14 years.  In 2007 my brother in law and I took over full control of Brownstone after my father in law’s retirement.  We still run Brownstone today where we enjoy a number one position for market share in our area.  We also have three large developments in various stages of completion at this time.

First, can you let readers know what you’ve been doing with yourself since your time in the NFL?

First, after reading certain excerpts of your site, I find it to be a good -long overdue. It interviews real players, and get real facts about life in the NFL, and not second-hand opinion from someone that’s never played the game!

Right now life could not be sweeter! Since leaving pro football, I like many present and former players, ventured out into a few private business ventures of my own, most notably as a Burger King Restaurant franchisee/owner.

First, can you let readers know what you have been doing with yourself since football and about your work as a Christian motivational speaker, Minister and police chaplain?

I have been very busy as I am presently the lead Chaplain for the city of Burnsville and Bloomington Police Departments. I have been a police Chaplain for eight years and have been an associate pastor at a Bloomington church for the past fifteen years.  Before that I worked for our National Denomination (Church of God – Cleveland, Tenn)  as a speaker for the Dept of Lay Ministries.  I served in that capacity for twenty-two years.

How much did you religious beliefs/faith affect you as a player – and how? Were these beliefs as strong for you then as they are now?

Unfortunately, all this positive effort came after my football career, so if my teammates have a little difficulty taking all this in, I understand as I would not have been a likely candidate for the Lord’s work during my days in Pittsburgh.
