Our Story

I met John when I came to West Point for a visit before I arrived to instruct, circa March 2005. In his words, upon meeting me he thought, "I got dibs!" Instead, I thought..."How old is this guy?" After my official arrival, John and I discovered we had a lot in common. We both like bicycles...I pretend to ride them and he actually does...one of these days maybe I'll actually be converted to an avid rider. In the meantime, I'll continue to live vicariously through OLN's (Versus') coverage of the Tour. I think we actually became friends when we realized we both love shoes, movies, trying new restaurants, laughter, and, over time, each other.

As you all know, we're also passionate about challenging and assisting the cadets. It's our dream to come back and teach again in the future.
