Hard to believe it’s been almost a year since taking on the role of AOQ at The Hollow. It’s been a blast, but most of all I’m grateful for the opportunity to lead this group of men. There’s no question in my mind I’ve received more from them than I’ve given and I’m thankful for every PAX I had the opportunity to meet during my tenure. This is a special group to me and I’m proud to call each of them a brother. Today 22 PAX came together for some work and to witness the changing of the guard at both The Hollow and at our other campus AO, CAT. Both will be in great hands with their new leadership and I’m sure the new AOQ’s will get just as much out of the experience as I did. Here’s how things went down this morning.
