“Coach Holem has already started to prove his investment in the Waynesboro community,” said team president and co-owner Kathleen Kellet-Ward. “It brings new excitement every time we have new energy coming on board.”
Holem currently resides in Virginia Beach, Va. with his fiancé Jackie who is currently serving in the United States Navy.
