I want to wish a merry christmas and happy new year to all my animal brothers. Its been a hell of a year for me, full of life changes. It started off not so good. Life was a little disorganized and depressing. I had got into some trouble and was battling alcoholism. My military career was skating on a thin piece of ice. I want to take this time to thank Animal. I discovered the way of the animal earlier this year while in recovery. It changed my way of life. It made me a survivor. It made me strong inside and out. And as of dec.4 I am proud to say I am over a year alcohol free. All because of the support and encouragement from my wife, daughter, parents, fellow soldiers, the United States Army, and the Animal Nation. I have great thanks for all parties involved. This past year was one I am very proud of and this next upcoming year is going to be another year for growth. Personal growth and of course physical growth with the training program we all love, HRT. My best wishes go out to all of you. Train hard. Dig deep. Drive on. Never quit.
