It is fun to be back with the kids again after being in training camps and the Pacific Northwest the past six weeks. I have been working at the Boys and Girls Club on the Lac Courte Orielles reservation for almost a year now. My first day back was a good one. We joined the [...]

It’s also awesome to have Per, Armin and Bernd here. These guys work nonstop in camp. Sometimes I [...]
