About the author
A few years later, after suffering a number of shoulder separations, he became a referee. He refereed all the road trips the IRSL made across the country after they combined with Rollermania. He refereed four times in Madison Square Garden. On his last trip to the Garden, he was flown in ahead of time with four other skaters to perform Roller Derby stunts in a music video for MTV. He was also placed in charge of the track construction crew for that game.
After the IRSL folded, he worked for a number of other start-up leagues. In 1993 he made a return to skating. He was chosen as one of eight American skaters selected for the USA All-Star team which competed in a Roller Game World Cup held in Tokyo, Japan.
He is currently married with a lovely wife, Elvie, who he met while in the Philippines. He has two children, Joey and Vanessa, and resides in the Bay Area.
