About

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 in 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.

Went to a men’s retreat this weekend that talked about living a life of worship. Really resonated with me. Inspired my trail name, “PW” (Praise & Worship) or phonetically, “Papa Whiskey.”
