A large portion of my parenting-life has been in kids sports. I have been in the role of parent of athletes, volunteer, coach in both rec and travel programs, league officer in the rec league, and officer of a travel program. This gave me great insight into what it takes to run youth sports programs.

  1. I did apply for a position at teamsnap (director of engineering perhaps?) but never received a response. This led me to consider building my own - I was (am?) very interested in creating an ecosystem of apps to help run a sports league.
