September 5 marks the start of the 2024 NFL season—irregardless if you’re cheering for the home team or perhaps another, I invite you to meet Ty Okada of the Seattle Seahawks. Writer Emily Gedde connects with the East Ridge High School alumn on the topics of family, faith
and, of course, football. “It’s more than being a good football player … How you do anything is how you should do everything. Live by that, and you’ll be just fine,” Okada says. This September, I invite you to visit our website (woodburymag.com)
to vote on our Readers’ Choice photo in the Focus on Woodbury photo contest. Voting runs September 15 through September 30, and winners are announced in the beginning of October.
