I am honored and humbled to serve the arrowmen of the west this year. The people I get to work with and meet will make this year unforgettable.

My first position was librarian of my troop, which quickly taught me how much hard work pays off. (I also learned that the BSA has many Merit Badge books)

| What is the coolest thing you've done in Scouting? |
Climbing Mt. Adams with a paraplegic - he showed me that "high adventure" describes the people your with, not the summit you reach!

I'm proud to be an arrowman because of what we do for non-members, individually and as an Order.

Singing the OA song on the top of Baldy and the Tooth during Trail Crew, beside a pristine lake during Wilderness Voyage, and with thousands of brothers at NOAC.
