In this episode of The ChemekeTable Podcast, host JD Shinn sits down with “Big Tony” Blosser—a small-town city councilor whose life changed when he was invited to play basketball and attend Chemeketa Community College. What began as an opportunity on the court became a discovery of purpose, direction, and service.

Tony reflects on the life lessons he learned through the game, the lasting impact of his coach Rob Chaves, and how gratitude, mentorship, and community shaped his path from student-athlete to civic leader. This is a powerful conversation about opportunity, believing in others, and how Chemeketa changed the trajectory of a life.
