We'll be out there for the Pittsburgh Marathon.

But a few weeks ago, there was a kickoff run in Pittsburgh that we were at.

And because where I went to school, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, also where I started BPN, is about an hour from Pittsburgh in this town called Indiana, Pennsylvania.

We made the trip over to IEP while we were there.

And it was the first time I was at IEP since graduating, 2013.

Wow.

And we went and saw, and I showed the team the apartment where I started BPN out of.

We walked around college campus and we went to the Army ROTC building where I participated in the Army ROTC program.

I commissioned out of IUP as a second lieutenant in the Army.

Spent a lot of time at that building.

It's called Pierce Hall.

Lots of memories about Pierce Hall and just the people that I was surrounded by on a daily basis and the instructors, the cadre, being on the Ranger Challenge Team, PT, just a lot of great core memories.

A lot of character defining and developing moments in that building.

And as we were walking around Pierce Hall, I had this realization and I was talking to the camera.

We filmed the video there.

We launched on my YouTube channel a few weeks ago.

And I had this realization that there was an instructor.

There was a cadre member there by the name of Captain Engove at the time.

And he had a remarkable impact on my life.

Captain Angove was the epitome of the hybrid athlete before the hybrid athlete was a thing.
