Mike Roos wears a lot of hats.
See? That’s at least one of them. I met Mike at the University of Cincinnati’s Blue Ash campus. He’s a professor there. That career would be enough for most people, but not for Mr. Roos. As you can see on http://www.mikeroos.com/, he is a musician and author. I’ve seen him perform his music and if you like acoustic, somewhat folk inspired tunes, I’d advise you to check it out. His most recent endeavor is the book I mentioned in the title, “One Small Town, One Crazy Coach”. The book recounts the run of Pete Gill as he coaches the Ireland High School Spuds to their first and only championships. You can also pick that up at his website. Now for the TwitterView:
