Software Development
August 8, 2014
We are concerned with character development more than physical development, on principles more than physiques. It’s the operating system we focus on, much more than the hardware.
We also judge success differently – more on intangibles than tangibles, more on heart and mind than trophies and medals.

New Beginnings
August 30, 2016
The Michigan High School Athletic Association office experienced an unusual amount of mobility this summer:
-
Gina Mazzolini retired after nearly a quarter-century on the MHSAA staff, with special attention to skiing, swimming & diving, tennis, volleyball, international students and interstate sanctioning.
-
Andi Osters was promoted to assistant director.
-
Dan Hutcheson joined the staff as assistant director.
-
Jeremy Sampson joined the staff in a tournament promotion, ticketing and marketing capacity.
-
We played musical chairs with offices: John Johnson, Andy Frushour, Andi Osters, Geoff Kimmerly, Kathy Westdorp and Cole Malatinsky all have a change of scenery or surroundings.
So we have some new faces, and some “old” faces in new places at the MHSAA office.
During all these transitions, I discovered I was less jealous of Gina’s retirement than I was of the new beginnings for Andi, Jeremy and Dan. Their new energy renews my own for so much that we hope to accomplish together in 2016-17.
