The mission after the uniform

LIFE Changer 365

A nonprofit mentoring young people who are fatherless or in foster care, aged 12 to 21, across North Texas. It works the way he was taught to work: discipline, commitment, honesty, leadership.

No man left behind. That's not just a military value. It's a way of life.

The method

L.I.F.E.

Four words, taught the way the Marine Corps teaches anything, which is by repetition until it is simply how you behave.

LLove
Show up, and keep showing up.
IInvest
Time first. It is the part nobody can send by check.
FForgive
Nobody is held to the worst thing that happened to them.
EExample
Be the thing you are asking them to become.
