With your leadership the 1st MSC is one of the top commands of the U.S. Army Reserve Command, and I thank you for that. Throughout all you career, you set the example for your people and inspired their confidence. You gave them the right tools, push them forward and got out their way so they could do their best work, and they have.” add Brig. Gen.

“I am retiring but my legacy will continue. Is being a journey of 35 years, I have visited many countries and meet different people. Coming for a very humble childhood I never thought about being here today, retiring as US Army Colonel in this fine Army that have given me and my family so much, that I am so grateful to serve my country. As a baby-boomer all good thing has come to an end, and start a new way of life. I hope and I wish you all have a bless life like I have, and you do your most and best in all your endeavors. How I will like to be remembered? Very simple, that I placed my missions first, that I was part of a team but I also like to have fun. It was all about the Soldiers, it was not about me. I have to say goodbye, but goodbyes are not forever, that’s only means that I will miss you until we meet again. I salute you all.” said Col.
