Derek and Kathleen met on the Bobcat Village soccer/football fields in 2006. Kathleen was recruited to play in an Air Force ROTC flag football game by one of her sorority sisters. During the first play, Kathleen was catapulted into the air and landed at Derek’s feet. He helped her up, dusted her off, and the rest is history. They have been married for 12 years and have two kids. Their love for Texas State keeps them coming back for visits every year.
