How the f**k does rush hour start at 2pm in the city?!?

Doing the good work today! Director’s Workshop final with a good crew and a great cast!

It’s not the Army I miss, it’s my brothers I miss. We suffered together, we ate together, we lived together. We knew each other like know else may ever know us. For all of my brothers in the 3rd Cavalry, and all the others across the nation, happy

Get to shoot here next weekend! So excited!

Dad and Cooper being buds on our campus visit

This has certainly been my experience

Take nothing so serious as humor is the implied lesson I got from my dad when I started to grow up. My dad is a giant. He’s 5’5” but he cast a huge shadow and is someone I always look up to even when I got to be six inches taller than him.
I took my dad for granted when I was a kid and I shouldn’t have. But recognizing all the huge things he did for me were really just scores and scores of tiny ones is how I knew I finally saw him for the wonderful father that he is.
Tell your dad you appreciate him today but always respect him if he was always there for you even when you weren’t perfect.
My dad means the world to me because even when I didn’t think so, all the tiny little lessons have stayed with me and now I get to be a decent father in my own way.

Today is Memorial Day and as a it carries a lot of weight for me. I was really lucky to not lose any friends I serve with in combat action, but sadly I have lost too many to su***de or other tragic factors. I honor my fallen comrades best by trying to live up to my full potential.
This hasn’t always been easy, and I’m daft in some ways it’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
But when it becomes truly difficult I think to myself about the guys that aren’t here and think that they’d be right on my six shouldering me forward, because that’s what we do as veterans. We carry each other and look out for each other.
That’s my memorial to them, not quitting, not letting life grind me to nothing. They aren’t here, so I have to do as they would.
