The man I see in the box everyday, is the same man I saw on the field of battle. True character does not change with a different environment. Encouraging his fellow competitors, positive attitude, and overall just a class act.

I always describe Dennis..."he is just simply a good human being." Dennis, you exemplify goodness... You mean what you say and say what you mean. Your joy for our accomplishments is genuine. Your passion for CF is real. There is no one more deserving of the recognition you have earned. I truly believe you are the "Miss Congeniality" of the sport (and I mean that in a GOOD way!). Way to represent, Coach! We are try blesses to know you!!! DB for 2015!!!!
