AT HOME WITH TODD SHARP
But I call him T.J. because I also thought it would
be mildly disrespectful to be yelling at your dog
when he’s misbehaving, “Tom Jurich! Get back
in the yard right now!”
What about your dating life?
I’ve actually been dating. I’ll say that. I’m
definitely open to possibilities.
You’ve had an eventful past three years.
In the last three years, I went through a divorce,
the birth of two grandchildren, buying and selling
two different homes, opening a new retail business,
FIRST OF ALL,
I’M NOT A
STAR. I’M NOT
A CELEBRITY.
I’M STILL
WORKING A
TON OF HOURS
COACHING KIDS
(AND) DOING
WHAT I LOVE.
(starring in) a reality TV show, three deaths that
came very close together of people who were
dear to me. … At a time time that should have
been extremely joyful for me, I think it was after
the second episode (of “So Sharp), my son had a
catastrophic head injury in an ATV accident and
nearly died. He spent many weeks in the hospital
and is still going through rehab. … In three years,
I’ve had the highest of highs and the lowest of
lows. … Thank God for the blessings – like my
son’s son Chase (Todd tears up) – because they
helped counterbalance. It lets me see there’s
still positives.
What do you do when you experience
the lows?
