PODCAST:#027 Interview with AAron and Jody Masden

Aaron Masden played his High School Football at La Crosse Central HS, La Crosse, WI. He was a college RB at Luther College (NCAA DIII), Decorah IA and at the University of Thomas (NCAA DIII), St. Paul MN. He is the current Head Football Coach at Spring Mountain HS. He has a very impressive resume', but that only begins to scratch the surface of what he and his wife, Jody have done to the culture of not only that football program, but all the boys in the facility itself.

That's right...Spring Mountain HS is not your average high school. It is a rehabilitation center for young men who made some bad choices. Aaron and Jody are Juvenile Probation Officers and together have changed lives for the better in a very tough situation.
