Quotes
"Plebe summer was transformative for me, mainly because it was that time when you realize you can't really do anything on your own. It's all being part of a team. But also you had to deliver yourself."

"It (Winter Classic) was a spectacle. It was no kidding a Super Bowl-level event. The capitals ended up winning the game. The gold medal curlers pushed the puck out to center ice on a stone it landed right in the middle of center ice and then I got to take the puck off the stone and drop the puck."

I looked at the honor concept as it was written when I took over as superintendent and I realized that it was a need of something, maybe to be more modernized so it would resonate with the Midshipman of today."

We are such a centerpiece of the entire state of Nebraska. I mean, I talked about, you know, being in the public eye when I was a superintendent, the Naval Academy, this is to that level, and maybe even a little bit more."
