The Stubborn Navigator of an Alternate Sky

I don't chase the future. I build it.

I flew for the Navy, walked on the Moon, and helped carve a foothold on Mars. Command is a second skin, but it doesn't fit like a glove—it fits like a gauntlet. You don't get to be me without burning some people along the way. My marriage? We've weathered more reentries than I care to count. My son? He deserves better than a legend for a father. But when the mission matters more than the man, you do what you have to do.

What I'm Into: lunar dust under my nails, Karen's quiet strength, pushing the next kid past their limit, Danny's hard-won smile, Jamestown sunrise
