I have spent the past twenty-eight years involved in coaching youth soccer and basketball. I have coached ages five to eighteen in Park and Recreation programs, local junior and senior high schools, and traveling programs, including four years as St. Louis Park High School varsity head girls’ soccer coach, and five years as an assistant coach. In 1994, I formed a local youth traveling soccer program and have served on its board of directors ever since. In 1992, I was selected “Girls’ Soccer Coach of the Year”, by the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association.

Since 1987, I have been working at a local Twin Cities high school where I also volunteer as a play-by-play announcer for athletic events, and manage the official score book for varsity and junior varsity basketball games.

In retrospect, I believe my work and volunteerism have always been focused on helping children to develop their skills in sports and to be positive assets to the community.

Games and magic have always been two of my favorite past-times. I have been an avid board game player all of my life, and finally in 1992, I decided it was time to learn and perform magic. Since then I have performed magic at birthday parties, anniversaries, and family gatherings.

I know how difficult it was even ten years ago to find a place that sold magic. Now with the internet, such places are abundant. What I hope sets me apart from the rest is that I aim to provide my customers with exciting products, reasonable prices, personal service, and great communication.

Besides magic, this site will offer you new games as they first hit the market, and other miscellaneous items that I believe you will find of interest and value. I have teamed up with a local inventor of board and card games who just released a new board game named “GEOMINOS”. It is a game made of all recycled materials, so it is environmentally friendly, plus, the inventor is committed to donating a portion of all proceeds to charity. So if you are looking for a great family game that is lots of fun to play, purchase it here on GamesMagicAndMore.com. There are more new games coming in the near future, so check back often!

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have a question, at sales@gamesmagicandmore.com.

Thanks for visting the site and taking your time to get to know me. I hope we have a long positive business relationship together.

Have a magical day!
