Dear Liberty Family, After much prayer and reflection, I have decided to step down from my role as Head Football Coach at Iowa City Liberty High School to pursue a coaching career at a higher level. I want to sincerely thank the Liberty administration for their support and belief in our program, especially Justin Colbert and Brent Sands. Your leadership and commitment to Liberty students and athletics helped create an environment where our players and coaches could grow and compete at the highest level. I would also like to thank James Harris and Mike Morrison for hiring me at Liberty. To the players and coaches, thank you for your belief, your work ethic, and your commitment to building a championship culture. Together, we worked to turn Liberty Football into a program capable of competing for a state title on the field, and off the field impacting our community in a positive way. I have no doubt the program will continue to thrive because of the outstanding young men in the locker room, the coaches who pour into them every day, and the incredible Liberty community that supports them. Serving this program over the past five seasons has been one of the great privileges of my life. My time at Liberty reinvigorated my love for the game of football and strengthened my passion for impacting athletes through the platform of our sport. I thank God daily for the opportunity to coach this game and to continue to use football as a vehicle to live and share my faith, as well as learn and teach lessons that extend far beyond the field. Football teaches teamwork, discipline, toughness, commitment to something bigger than yourself, and love for the people you get to pursue that mission with. Those principles are what make this game so powerful. I want to especially thank my beautiful wife, Alissa, for her unwavering love and support every single day. To my wife and children, Lyla, Vayda, Ivy, and Townes, thank you for always cheering on our team and sharing your husband/dad with this game and mission. The sacrifices our family makes so that I can pursue this calling are never taken for granted, and I love you all deeply. The past five years have been unforgettable, and I will always cherish my time at Liberty. This program, these players, and this community will always hold a special place in my heart. Go Bolts!
