Tell JC Tretta to spin his 30 pieces of silver wisely.

I am 71 years old.

I was the lead security officer.

I was the special police officer.

And I was hired first in October of 08.

And then after two years being there as a contractual employee there,

The esteemed Timothy Christine, who was my security director, brought me on in 2010 to work as the lead security officer for the union as an employee.

I got there two months after Gene Upshaw had passed away.

And so everybody was telling me what his methodology was.

And that was to truly, truly care and speak plainly to the powers that needed to be spoken to.

so they can care as well.

And then when the intellectually pugilistic Demore Smith came on, then that continued to elevate the game on how we were every day to come in with the very best of ourselves.

Well, the building I'm in is in what they call the Golden Triangle of Washington, D.C., which is the business area of Washington, D.C., K Street, Connecticut Avenue.

It's a modern building, but it doesn't bring any attention to itself because of the way that it was architecturally drawn.

The simplicity of all of the buildings on that street is what brings about the elegance.

One of the last weeks I was working there, there was a security guard having a problem across the street with someone.

And I went across the street and asked him, was everything okay?

Did he need any assistance?

And he saw my work badge.

He said, the NFLPA.
