Some personal information about Coach Dehdari:
"My family has been in Flower Mound since 1993 and my parents and sister (and her family) still live in Flower Mound. I have a two year old nephew in Flower Mound and a three year old niece in Ohio. In my spare time, I try to stay very active. I am a runner and a golfer and love working out! My favorite distance is the half-marathon and have ran more than twenty at that distance. I have also run five full marathons. I also enjoy scrapbooking, wood-working and spending as much time with my family as possible."
