Retired from the United States Army after more than 20 years! Singing the National Anthem at historic Lambeau Field to commemorate my retirement. 7 December 2009; Monday Night Football; Baltimore Ravens

Received a Master of Arts in Education from Saint Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas

Married Dawn Mattingly (1993), cousin of Don Mattingly “Mr. Baseball” (NY Yankees) and have three beautiful and wonderful children; daughter Chelsea (1994) and twin sons James and Patrick (1998). Dawn was my “Rock” throughout my military career and now we adventure out into the civilian world.

I leave with this; "For those who have fought for it, freedom has a taste the protected will never know."
