Fort Collins, you’ll always be my “Castlewood Road” (a song by the Treetop Flyers). I am certain that I will never leave, but if I ever do go out of town…this song will always play as I countdown to my return.

Forever grateful to my home institution, #EasternNewMexicoUniversity, for the spotlight in the summer edition of the Green & Silver. I may be a Ram, but I’m still a Greyhound at heart. May the Green and Silver reign forever!
