Welcome!!!

PS – Brett is a competitor of the highest order and I applaud his commitment to winning and to serving our country.  I also love that he did not shy away from a stupid game of disgusting drink challenges that me and Kyle put him through as sort of an indoctrination.  He won and paid the price of something with habanero in it…but it earned him this spot!
