Wife
Here is my lovely wife, Alma, doing what I'd love to see her do most. She sacrifices so much of herself so I'm
able to continue my competitive fishing. She works in the Produce Department of the Eglin AFB, Commissary and does an
excellent job there. I hope to have a breakout tournament and win a big one soon so she can start to enjoy the things
she works so hard for. She's an awesome spirit and I love and appreciate her dearly

My Best Fishing Partners
I want to recognize two very special fishing partners. I lost these two fine people when
I turned 23 years of age, shortly after Carlos was born. They taught me to live life to the fullest and enjoy every
moment that God has blessed you with. I will always cherish the moments we shared together, which were mostly fishing
trips, and although competitive fishing is full of ups and downs I will always smile because I know in my heart that they'd
both be very proud of the things that I've accomplished and the fact that I'm always striving to achieve. They
will always travel in my heart.
Thanks for 23 years of leading by example, "I Love you Mom"
Parents
Although serving 26 years in the military instilled the core values of "Integrity, Service before Self,
and Excellence in all you do," here are the special people that helped to form my character early in life.
Each had a significant role in everything I did as a young man and believe me they kept me in check. I feel truly blessed
to have each of them in my life. My Dad started me fishing at an early age and I'm very thankful for that
because fishing kept me busy and focused.

My Other Family Members
Here are some of my family members in a large group. They traveled to Florida to attend my retirement
ceremony and to help me start my transition from military to civilian life. They remind me what a beautiful and
special family I am blessed with. I can't lose with them in my corner!
Friends
Who has a fishing tournament to culminate 26 years of dedicated military service? Stretch does!
