Kirby Garry is a father to four, married to his wife Jody for 20 years, and the Athletic Director of Cal State Monterey Bay. He is rebelling against the traditional American youth sport culture (travel teams, sport specific training, at too early of an age, etc.) with the goal of exposing our kids to many activities and allowing them to find their passion along the way.

He is working to empower his kids to find their identity by not putting too many of our expectations onto them. He is driven to unconditionally love his children, set a good example of being a life long learner, and be authentically himself with them.

Ned and Kirby connect on raising teenagers and how important it is to keep the lines of communication open and honor the trust between parent and child. He shares how he's working to carve time out for himself as his children get older.

It is evident that he is a present and consistent force for his kids and is on a path to raise kids who grow up to be resilient and strong character people in this ever changing world.
