Growing up, Jack Esquivel loved and played many sports.  Beginning in kindergarten those sports included football, soccer, basketball and baseball.  By second grade, it became more clear which sport would take center stage in his life, when he joined the SYC anklebiters football team.  

This year the Dresen family celebrated three graduations:  John received his MA in Public Health from GWU and continues to work at GW, Jason graduated from VCU and Julia graduated from Alexandria City High School and is on her way to W&M!  Congratulations to Team Dresen …. Mom and Dad too!
