During his time with the WWFOA, he has officiated four state finals: serving as umpire in the 2007 1B, 2010 3A, 2013 4A and 2015 2A contests. He received the WOA Meritorious Service Award in 2011 and the Tom Cross Award in 2012.

To be part of the action on a Friday night or Saturday afternoon has made the journey fulfilling.”
