The summer of 1999 was my last Summer at Rockmont, I was on the A-Team and what a great Summer. By Sept. 1999 I had reported to Navy Officer Candidate School in Pensacola, FL. After I was commissioned in the Navy, I began Naval Flight Officer training in Pensacola and in May 2001 I "got my wings". I moved to Whidbey Island, WA in May 2001, and began learning to fly the EA-6B Prowler, becoming a Prowler ECMO (Electronic Counter Measures Officer). Since then I have remained stationed at NAW Whidbey Island, WA. I have been flying ever since, what a rush! I am currently a Lieutenant in VAQ-137, my squadron is attached to CVN-65 the USS Enterprise. I am the squadron Training Officer. My job consists of mentoring and teaching the younger Pilots and ECMOs in the Squadron on how to fly and fight the Prowler, much like being a counselor and Tribal Director at Rockmont.

Couldn't nail one down, without long hours of thought, but some of the best times of my life were are Rockmont. Trip Hughes is one of the funniest persons I know, and surely our anticts would rank up there, whether it was "Beavering" Rick Sandman, or making fools of ourselves with the Mountain Campers. Dan Davis is the Steve Martin of Rockmont, part musician, part prop comic, mostly pure funny. Hap Endler can make me laugh 24-7. I think whatever the funniest memory from Rockmont is, it involves all 3 of those people

As a camper I would say the day I prayed to Jesus, it was 1988 and I was a Ranger. Nothing special, just praying in my bed in the Ranger Station. It doesn't really get any closer. As a staff member, I couldn't think of one instance, but hopefully I was able to set an example for some of the campers, and staff.

Anyone and everyone that I worked and camped with in my years at Rockmont.

Everyone who made me who I am today, which is everyone that was at Rockmont.
