Comments

Corey, thank-you so much for sharing a part of your story. I know we could talk for hours about all the things you've done in life, sports and helping kids! Though a lot of years in your life were with playing sports, that isn't the most important thing to you. From what I heard, there was always a Faith component that was instilled by your parents and even though you might have left the path that God had you on, He never left you and you did come back to him! Corey, I hear in your words and feel your heart has a passion to help people, especially kids. If I had kids, I'd send them to you physically or have them call you on a weekly basis to check in with you for all areas of life. I know you care more about kids playing sports the best they can. You want kids to think about education, their health, the Faith component, choices etc. You care about people/kids as a whole and I hear you. I'm looking forward to helping you in any way I can Corey. Love you like a brother, because we are! G
