Spoke at the Ag-Summit and Expo in Council Bluffs, IA this week. Group of 800+ farmers / Ag industry folks. Really enjoy sharing my story... from cornfield to battlefield. #Farming#AgricultureBusiness
“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.” - GK Chesterton. Humbled and honored to be invited to the event. @NavySEALfnd#service#sacrifice#USA
"Morning heals you when you are awake to meet it!" Always been a believer in being an early riser. Something rewarding about getting it done before all the chaos of the day hits... #Faith#fitness#health
No Mountains, No Problem! - Title of my recent blog article. How to train for Denali or Aconcagua at sea level on flat ground. #Training#Mountains#Climbing
"The Roof of the Americas" - A summary of our climbing expedition of Aconcagua... my most recent blog (link is in the comments below). Many of the same lessons learned on this as we learned on Denali, many of the same people. Most valuable lesson: the perspective gained.
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Psalm 23:4 (ESV). Adam Brown (far right) was killed on March 17, 2010, during a firefight in Komar Province, Afghanistan. #Fearless
The words escape me. Charlie was an amazing man. He was a Christian, Husband, Patriot and Warrior for freedom. His courage to engage in unscripted debates and keep a cool head through it all is inspiring. Praying for his family and for our country.
Football is back! Love the sport. It taught me SO much: mental toughness, commitment, teamwork, winning, losing. Most of all, the value of an unanswered prayer. Football didn't work out for me. But it led to something much better. #Football#Team#Teams#Sports
Throwback to a trip to Iowa. A trip down memory lane. Level B gravel roads and drainage ditches. This stretch of gravel was my recreation and gym. #farmlife#training#gravelrosds#IOWA#summers
