What’s your favorite memory while being at Gateway?

The times I’ve received positive feedback from the guys in the field about what I was doing!

Do you have a nickname? How did you get it?

• Not anymore, but in the Army my commanding officer called me, “Wild Man” and the guys called me, “Robocop Jr.” I was young and liked to have good fun and we wrestled a lot in the barracks, and I just didn’t give up, even when the guy was bigger, so I caught the nicknames. We won’t discuss the night Sergeant Major was doing laundry and caught us taping his driver to his cot in the middle of the night. It was all good though, turned out Sergeant Major was good with it as long as we could accomplish it (his driver was a big guy) and nobody got hurt!

Favorite Movie & Why?

Hocus Pocus because its a great movie I can watch with my children!

What are you a “closet fan” of?

Martin Luther King Jr., I respect his strength and accomplishments without using violence. Did you know he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech is ranked as the top American speech of the century!

What are 3 things still left on your bucket list?

Sky diving, rock climbing (I better lose some weight!!!), and tour Europe!
