“Team is Everything”

I retired after 20 years in the US Army (1984 – 2004). I spent over 16 years in the one and only Special Forces aka Green Berets. I was with 5th Special Forces Group (A). I started as a communications sergeant and retired as an ODA Team Sergeant (Best job in the World). I have been teaching JROTC since 2006 and will retire in 2026. I live in Upstate SC where I grew up.
