Shannon and family

Also a sports official for various sports in high school and collegiate levels since 2000 he has learned the ability to handle pressure situations and to remain calm to allow better thinking to prevail when all else around you seems to be falling apart. It is imperative to every sports official that knowledge of the rules is critical, then application of the rules for each situation is imminent. The same goes for taxes. You must first know the tax law and then be able to apply it to meet the needs of the particular situation at hand.
