Bill Riddle

I'm 35 years old, 6'6" tall, and 220 lbs. I am married, with 2 kids. My wife's name is Jillian. She's ALWAYS busy, and has been involved in our children's activities forever. I think it's time we had a vacation babe! My daughter Jenel Nicole is 13 years old, and plays basketball and softball year-round. She is an accomplished All-Star. My son Jonathan William is 9. He also loves sports (especially basketball!), as well as skateboarding. He has begun surfing this year.

• Music, such as Blues, R and B, Soul, and good ole' Rock and Roll! I play bass and guitar, and have written many songs & poems. My main influences growing up have been Pink Floyd (especially Roger Waters)& Rush. As I mellow with age, I find myself keen on Soul music; especially the Funk music I grew up with in the mid-70's.
  
• Parenting: I am very involved in my children's lives, and have spent many years coaching them and helping them to sharpen their skills. My daughter has benefited (I hope!) most, and will now be ready for high school sports next year. Forget J.V. Jenel, go straight to Varsity girl! My boy Jon-Jon is now ready for his try at a "one-on-one" coach. He is becoming quite a basketball player for his age. I am really enjoying watching him come into his own....
• School/College: I am currently pursing a degree in Business, as well as working full-time. I really do hope to run my own family business one day.
• Sports: I enjoy baseball (go Pads!), football (Bolts, or Dolts?), and of course, basketball. I am currently a board member for my daughter's softball league (University City Bobby-Sox), and enjoy teaching the art of fastpitch softball, which I've picked up over the years. My favorite sports figures growing up where Nate Colbert & Ollie Brown (those were some serious dog years for the Padres), as well as Randy Jones. I've ALWAYS been a Padre fan. My father used to go to games at old Lane Field.
