He has coordinated the registration efforts of over 16,000 participants who have come for football camps, retreats, conferences, and summer camp programs. Having worked with kids for two decades, he also takes great pleasure assisting the camp directors in the planning and preparation of activities designed for an annual summer camp program. In this six to eight week program, The Swamp averages 175 campers per week ranging in age from nine to 18 years.

He has helped design two home-grown registration systems in the early years of The Swamp; one of which was a web-based system. He is very happy to be a Jackrabbit customer and wants to share his grass-roots experience and passion with this market-base as there is a great need for this type of system for seasonal and year-round camps. He feels there is an untapped camp sub-culture out there that can use the benefits of an affordable and robust online registration system and is willing to offer his experiences to help the everyday camp registration administrator.
