Pat McNair has been chosen as TeamMate of the Month for April. He has been a mentor for Keenan, a freshman, for four years.

For a number of years, the pair were serious chess opponents, but now that Keenan is in high school, they interact more on the sports level.
When asked why he became a mentor, McNair said that it didn’t hurt that the TeamMates’ founder was Tom Osborne, so that lent a great deal of credibility to the program.
McNair also has a history of interaction with youth through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
McNair enjoys the interaction and relationship he has built with Keenan and is always encouraged to see other adults at the school who have formed such valuable relationships with their TeamMates.
 McNair owns McNair Agency, where he works mostly in financial management.
McNair and his late wife, Linda, raised four sons: Jason (Jacque) of Broomfield, Colorado, Ben (Natalie) of Omaha, Alex (Kristi) and Sam (Abby), both in Imperial.
He also has 14 grandchildren. Other than following the activities of the grandkids, McNair loves scuba diving, hiking and biking, travel and ministry with FCA. He also serves on the board of Ninos de la Luz, an international ministry that helps homeless children around the world.
McNair encourages others that may be on the edge of committing to be a mentor with TeamMates.
“The blessing you receive is always more than the blessing you try to be,” he said.
