I love this time of year – the perfect chance to sit down and reflect on the past twelve months. Every year, my annual letter-writing tradition seems to sneak up on me. There have even been a few years where I’ve had to pivot to a “Happy New Year” or even a “Happy Spring” theme …

Happy Spring! I hope this letter finds you well and filled with the same sense of renewal and hope that comes with the change of the seasons. As I sit down to write this, reflecting on the past year, I have concluded it was a year nothing short of transformative. It has been quite a …

Happy New Year from Edmond, Oklahoma!  Yes, that’s right – ANOTHER MOVE.  I started 2021 in Georgia and moved back to Oklahoma (3rd time’s a charm) in October.  I learned something I did not know before though.  Oklahoma’s state motto is “Labor Omnia Vincit” – Labor conquers all things.  How apropos to my life!  I …

Happy New Year! 2020 was a tumultuous one; unbridled and unrestrained.

Merry Christmas!  Here we are again at the end of another year!  I was a traveler for most of the year having deployed overseas to Qatar, returning back to North Carolina in July, to Tennessee in July and up to Connecticut, New York, and Canada in August, two weeks of Army business in September in …

Happy New Year!  I was unable to prepare and send a Christmas letter last year so I hope that your 2015 was a blessed one.  After serving ten months overseas last year, I was happy to return home where the privileges so many of us take for granted have been appreciated more than ever this …
