I retire from the Navy in March 2027 after serving 36 years. Submarine force is in good hands. I’m planning to hike the Appalachian Trail from April-August 2027. I’m looking forward to connecting with the Lord on his creation and transitioning to the next phase of my life.

I want to understand how the Lord wants me to use my talents for His glory in the next phase.

Lost my wife to breast cancer in August 2025. We were a great team. I’m looking to understand who I am without my beautiful Randina.

Got my trail name, Sheephead, on a fishing trip with Rachel, Chuck, and Amy. The first fish I caught was a big sheephead. It has these big spiny fins, big people looking teeth, and is difficult to clean. That’s me!
