What is your favorite quote and what does it mean to you?
Ted: "A team is only as strong as it's weakest link" My Little league Coach said that when I was 11 years old and I will never forget it. If you are constantly strengthening the weakest link someone else will need strengthening soon. Maybe You? Don't worry though, your Team will help you too!

What is your favorite hobby or past time?
Ted: Curling. Without a doubt. I love this game! I have playing since I was five years old and have enjoyed it all of my life. I have had the good fortune to meet and play with some great people and players though out my career. I think what keeps me coming back year after year isn't just the camaraderie between teams and players, but the pursuit of perfection in shot-making and implementing the correct strategy at the right time. Good Luck!

Can you name one accomplishment in your life most people might not know about?
Ted: I was voted MVP of the Tri-Valley Conference in 1994. I was an above average defensive catcher, who took a lot of pride in "calling a good game". I enjoyed calling pitches, blocking balls, stretching the strike zone, communicating with the umpires, and most of all, the adrenaline rush of throwing out base-runners trying to steal on me.

What was your very first job experience and how did it affect you?
Ted: I washed dishes at a restaurant when I was 15. It had a profound affect on me! I knew that I didn't want to be a dishwasher for the rest of my life.

If you could give the world one piece of advice, what would it be?
Ted: Eat your Vegetables! Just Kidding! I think the greatest advice that I could give someone is to show your kids how much you love them everyday. Love them unconditionally and be their parent, not their best friend.
