Pictures from the "Seattle Seahawks NFL Combine"

HIGA & the 2006 NFC Championship trophy that the Seahawks won.

Look at how huge that championship ring is too...




In the Film Room waiting for the GM to speak to us.

John Schneider-Seahawks General Manager
He asked us a bunch of questions that they would normally ask players.

Inside the VMAC.  That building is huge!

Ben Kolpa getting ready to do the Shuttle Run.

HIGA getting ready to do the 3 Cone Drill.

"Turning and BURNING..."


YB Choi doing the Standing Broad Jump.  He did 7' 5"

HIGA's turn...


I jumped 7 feet 2 inches.

Ken O'Hare doing the "Matrix" with his 5' 9" broad jump.  lol

Skyler Nelson doing the Stop/Start Drill.

HIGA doing the Bag Drill.



Stuart Nagae

Kam Robinson

"Woodshed Sled Push" for max distance with the GM on it.

HIGA's turn to push the sled.

Ended up pushing the sled for 70 yards.

The Seahawks weight room.  HEAVEN!



Why am I the only guy sweating, and my friends are not?  WTF?
They must have not been trying hard to make the team.

Me & YB having some "post-workout" Manny's Pale Ale.


Didn't know they were giving prizes for the individual events.
So I won the Sled Push event!

Scored an autographed Kam Chancellor football!

Bryn Johnson won a shirt for "Worst Interview" with the GM.  lol

Chris Christensen won the "#1 Overall Draft Pick" and scored this awesome picture board of the Seahawks MNF win over the Green Bay Packers last year!  He was a wide received at Utah.

Assistant Strength & Conditioning coach, Mondray Gee.

I asked John Schneider if you could sign my shirt.

What a blast!  Thank you Seattle Seahawks!

What a trip...Dave "Hendu" Henderson was at Dino's Pub too.
Check out him flashing his 1989 World Series with me & YB.

Pictures from "Seahawks Prime Time 2013" (El Gaucho- Bellevue, WA)

Having a Manny's Pale Ale with John Moffitt.

Autographed Steve Largent jersey was one of the silent auction items.

Brandon Browner (Oregon State alumni)  Go Beavs!

Richard Sherman

I called my friend, Sheldon Yasso who is a huge Seahawks fan back in Honolulu...

and Richard Sherman got on the phone to talk with him!

"Wassup braddah Sheldon!"

Seahawks GM & Executive VP, John Schneider.

More silent auction items...

Larry Fitzgerald autographed jersey.

All-pro center, Max Unger.
We tried to see how much $$ it would cost him to say, "GO BEAVERS" but he said no amount of cash would allow him to do that since he played for University of Oregon. LOL

Me & John Moffitt trying to be "Spokesmen for Manny's pale ale"...

Paul Ghaffari and me.  Paul invited me & my wife to this event.
Mahalo Paul!

Some of the guys from my work enjoying the fun.

Head coach Pete Carroll.

My friend Ben Kolpa was hounding me all night for my autograph...I finally gave in.


QB Russell Wilson threw some autographed balls to some donors.

Skyler got Russell Wilson to make a phone call too.

This was the one item that really intrigued me...

So we started bidding for it!  They only had 12 spots for the Combine workout.

Skyler was the 1st guy to bid for the NFL combine workout, cause he wanted to be ELITE!

Yes!  Kolpa & I are gonna run a sub 3 seconds 40 yard dash...

Michelle can't wait to see us do this on May 16th!

Me, Kolpa and Skyler.

 Michelle and I before dinner was served.

Tackle Breno Giacomini serving Filet Mignons...

Looks "ono" to me!

Some of the ladies from my work...

Michelle and my friend YB Choi.

Backup QB Brady Quinn (far right)

Russel Wilson and Chris Purcell.

My wife under center with Russell Wilson.
The best picture of the night!! Classic!

Hey...she is under center for a really long time...what the hell?

I love this picture too.  Wilson was a really nice guy!

Coach Carroll made me snap the ball to him too!

Ended the night with dessert.  
The banana bread pudding on the left was UNREAL.

"Thank you" Paul Ghaffari for inviting us to this wonderful event last night.  I can't stop thinking about it and it was an honor to be a part of this special fundraiser for Autism.
