Member Spotlight: Meet Herb

Sometimes it’s simple: a love for the game, a passion for helping young athletes, and a front-row seat to Friday night lights.
This week, we’re proud to feature Herb, who has dedicated nearly two decades to officiating and mentoring youth through sports.
Here's a little more about why he officiates:​

What do you enjoy most about officiating?
I enjoy getting a front-row seat to some great athletes and also being able to guide them with words of wisdom.

What would you tell someone who's thinking about joining?
You can’t do it for the money—you have to do it for the opportunity to help steer the youth with positivity.
