Over time, his reputation grew—not just in football, but also in basketball, where he took on the role of a referee for NCAA games. Outside of his professional life, he had three children with his first wife, balancing family and a demanding career. In 2013, he entered a new chapter personally when he got engaged to Lisa Mauro. His journey—from starting out in the NFL to becoming a respected figure across multiple sports—shows dedication and perseverance. He’s someone who steadily climbed the ranks, and over the years, he’s become a familiar name among fans and officials alike.
