00:14.142 --> 00:15.835

00:15.835 --> 00:17.607
- This week I'm here at the Army All-American Bowl

00:17.607 --> 00:21.190
to share my army story with all of the members

00:21.190 --> 00:25.107
that are coming to watch the All-American Bowl.

00:26.255 --> 00:28.016
- [Interviewer] And how does it make you feel

00:28.016 --> 00:30.124
to know that you're working with students,

00:30.124 --> 00:32.037
athletes, and band members who

00:32.037 --> 00:34.546
at the peak of their high school career,

00:34.546 --> 00:38.099
the peak of their given field of discipline,

00:38.099 --> 00:40.693
and know that you as, you're representing the army

00:40.693 --> 00:42.632
to these students and band members?

00:42.632 --> 00:45.443
- It makes me really proud to be able to represent myself

00:45.443 --> 00:49.324
to these great students from all across the country

00:49.324 --> 00:51.988
and make an impression upon them while they're out here

00:51.988 --> 00:54.568
making impression upon everybody as well.

00:54.568 --> 00:56.352
- [Interviewer] And what do you hope they take away

00:56.352 --> 00:58.976
from their experience of working with the Golden Knights

00:58.976 --> 01:01.030
as well as the army as a whole?

01:01.030 --> 01:02.910
- I hope they take away from working with us

01:02.910 --> 01:04.934
that the army has a lot to experience

01:04.934 --> 01:08.230
that the general public doesn't normally get to see

01:08.230 --> 01:11.501
on a regular day-to-day basis, or hear about.

01:11.501 --> 01:13.768
- [Interviewer] Okay and why did you join the army?

01:13.768 --> 01:15.949
- I joined the army 15 years ago,

01:15.949 --> 01:18.282
to better myself essentially

01:19.009 --> 01:22.579
and to get away from where I was from in Indiana

01:22.579 --> 01:26.137
because of the crimes and drugs that were polluting the area

01:26.137 --> 01:29.401
mostly just to get away and better myself.

01:29.401 --> 01:30.915
- [Interviewer] And why do you think the army

01:30.915 --> 01:32.955
is such a powerful team for the nation.

01:32.955 --> 01:34.401
- The army is a very powerful team

01:34.401 --> 01:37.161
because we are very good at coming together

01:37.161 --> 01:40.490
to solve problems and accomplish the mission.

01:40.490 --> 01:42.837
- [Interviewer] Alright, thank you very much.
