Well kids, the army has found other uses for me. a couple of days after Christmas, i'll be on my way to Arizona for 4 months for school, then headed directly to Ft. Bragg, NC for a few years. i see a big 82nd Airborne patch in my near future.

I'd like to send a huge thank you out to Russ, Todd, And David along with everyone else at C&O marine. those guys are without a doubt the best in the business. Gary is a mechanical magician. I thank you guys for having me on the staff as well as everything you have done for me and my family. Russ, i will always have a spare bag of "Be-back dust" in my pocket, in the event of emergency. (no, that is not a refference to narcotics). Jason and Duane, i hate to leave the big three, you guys made the boat shows more fun than they ever should have been.

I have absolutely loved my time in here in the Ky-Tn area. i have made some lifelong friends, and have even learned to tolerate Trent. i'm looking forward to the challenges ahead as well as the opportunity to learn some crankbait skills from the legendary North Carolina masters. If any of you guys ever make it out that way, give me a holler and we'll hitch up the little red stratos and hit the water, or hit the golf course (Roddy!!!!!)

by the way, here's a recent picture of my little flippin stick. his name is Keagan, but i call him hondo. he's cheering for his favorite team.
