I’m deeply honored to share that the has selected me to serve as the 77th Commandant of the U.S. Corps of Cadets. It’s truly humbling to take on the responsibility of shaping and mentoring the next generation of Army leaders, those who will one day stand at the forefront of defending our nation.

Today at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia, I had the incredible honor of receiving Virginia Senate Resolution No. 110 from Senator Bryce Reeves, recognizing the 29th Infantry Division. Standing there on the 75th anniversary of D-Day, I couldn’t help but feel the weight of history and the deep courage of those who landed on those beaches on June 6, 1944. Their sacrifice echoes through every moment, and it was humbling beyond words to be part of something that honors their legacy.

Standing on Cavalry Parade Field that day, looking out at the Soldiers, families, and leaders who make Fort Riley what it is, I felt an overwhelming mix of gratitude, pride, and humility. The change of command on Apr 11, 2024, wasn’t just a ceremony, it was a moment to reflect on what it meant to serve alongside the incredible men and women of the 1st Infantry Division. It was an honor to pass the torch to Maj. Gen. John Meyer III, someone I deeply respect and trust to lead this historic division forward. Saying farewell was not easy, this team, this place, and this mission have meant so much to me and my family. Thank you, Big Red One, for allowing me the privilege to serve with you. You'll always have a place in my heart.
