About

I was a head football coach and ass't basketball coach at Zanesfield-Monroe School, Zanesfield, Ohio and ass't varsity football and track coach at Wauseon Exempted Village Schools, Wauseon, Ohio. I moved to Florida and was an ass't varsity football coach football coach at Belle Glade High School and head baseball coach, Belle Grade, FL. My family went to Turkey for 5 years and while there I was the head basketball coach and my last year there, my team ended up 3rd in the Nation of Turkey. That next year with most of the players back, that team ended up Turkish National Champions. Upon returning to the US, I came to Port Charlotte as varsity ass't football coach and ass't varsity and JV basketball coach. Later on, I became the head varsity girls softball coach later on moving to ass't and JV girsl softball coach. That's my coaching history. I have a wife, 2 girls and 2 boys that make up my family. All four have been involved in sports in various places and in college for 3 of the 4 children. I am now retired living in the Spring Hill-Brooksville area of Florida

    I became a Don Hornish fan while looking over your many years of Coaching a variety of sports to young people who were lucky to have a solid man like yourself teaching them much more than sports..I was especially thrilled to see that you named John Havlichek as one of your favorite athletes...
