Tim Stuecheli:  

ork, Connecticut, and Delaware. I also loved bowling every Friday with "Advanced P.E." That was real fun. I had never thought when we went to the weight room in P.E. that I would like doing that. And at that time, I was cool with it, but now, I do it so frequently, its a part of my life. I used to remember back in the 7th grade, me walking through the halls with my bottle cap glasses that I swear were 5" thick. About the time late 9th/early 10th grade came around, I ditched the glasses for contacts, and have wore contacts ever since. I remember always coming to school in a Cleveland Browns t-shirt or some other t-shirt that at the time I thought was cool, but now look back and realize was too big for me...Oops! ;) I remember the days of baggy pants, chains going from pocket to wallet (in general...i never wore them), remember slap braclets (until they were disallowed) back in 7th and 8th grade. I remember "shop" class were we got to build salt and pepper shakers, cars, napkin College After High School, I went to NOVA (Northern Virginia Community College) and got my Associates in Applied Science in the field of Microcomputing in Spring 2002. Needless to say, I am no longer associated with the computer field anymore. I just found no interest in sitting around all day in front of a computer. I am now at George Mason University very close to completing my Bachelor's degree in Physical Education with a minor in Health, Fitness, and Recreation Resources. That is something I have an interest in, because I love being active and playing sports and now, working with kids. Seeing them smile when you teach them something new, when they accomplish something they didn't think they could, are just improving their skills, or just having fun makes me smile. I can't help it, it's contagious :) Workplace I started refereeing soccer at 15 and have continued to do so until this day. I am at a much higher level and plan to make "State Referee" this year. I also officiate High School Basketball, doing my first LB game this past year. I have refereed H.S. Basketball now for 6 years. (Basketball overall for 8). I also work for the Park Authority, and have ever since summer 1999. I worked as a Camp Counselor 1999-2003. I became a Camp Coordinator in 2004, and plan to do so again this summer. I will continue to referee because I enjoy it. Its great physical activity and I am able to officiate sports I like doing...(really can't watch soccer on TV, but LOVE refereeing it)...(and for those interested, yes, I have in fact referee'd Freddy Adu - had refereed 4 of his games when he played with Potomac).
