This week’s episode is packed with powerful stories and heartfelt music. Our guest Mike Deibler joined us to share about Veteran Command and his creation of DTS Maps — an interactive push-pin map that allows veterans to mark their travels and tell the stories tied to each place. Every pin carries a memory, a moment, and a story that shaped the journey. Mike also talked about “No Shit, There I Was”, a storytelling event hosted at a local brewery where veterans shared raw, eye-opening experiences straight from the heart. Our music spotlight featured Michael Lisenby, a former law enforcement officer and first responder who has turned his passion toward songwriting. His music reflects deep personal experiences, resilience, and the brotherhood of service. Michael performed three powerful songs: “I Got a Bottle” – Written after the tragic ambush that took the lives of fellow officers, this song is a tribute to their memory and a reminder that one day, they’ll share a drink together again in heaven. “Hammer Down” – A song about racing to the side of a brother or sister in crisis, doing whatever it takes to be there when they need you most. “Hold On Brother” – A heavy, emotional piece about fighting through danger to reach and protect your brother in the heat of battle. This episode is a powerful reminder of the bonds of service, the importance of storytelling, and the healing power of music.

On this week’s episode of We Got Your 6@6, we were honored to welcome Lee Mosler, founder of Ruck Digital, to the show. Lee brings a deep understanding of digital marketing and a strong passion for helping veteran-owned and first responder-focused organizations grow their online presence. Through his work at Ruck Digital, Lee is creating real impact by lifting up those who serve and support others. Connect with Lee on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/leemosler 🎶 Our music spotlight featured the dynamic Sean Russell and his band, Cut Throat Finches. Sean’s energy, depth, and musical storytelling captivated us throughout the night. He shared not only his sound but also the heartfelt stories behind the songs: “Mirrorball” – A beautiful tribute to his wife, this song weaves together life’s pieces, reflecting a journey of love and memory. “Ignition” – Channeling the spirit of Stevie Nicks, this track gives off strong classic rock vibes with a modern edge. “Calling Me Out” – A raw and real reminder that true friends call each other to higher standards—especially when it matters most. This episode is packed with inspiration, great conversation, and powerful music.

Cigar Lounge Conversations & Healing Through SongGuest: Joey Mac Dizon | Music Feature: Ty Warner In this episode of We Got Your Six at Six: Patriot Playtime, we welcome the dynamic Joey Mac Dizon, founder of The Mobile Cigar Lounge, as he shares how his unique approach to veteran support blends tradition, relaxation, and community. Joey travels across the country creating safe, calming spaces where veterans and supporters can connect over cigars—and sometimes bourbon—to decompress, share stories, and build brotherhood. His passion for veterans is at the heart of every lounge experience. We’re also honored to be joined by Ty Warner, an accomplished singer-songwriter hailing from Wyoming. Ty brought the music—and the heart—to this episode. His performance was filled with authenticity, storytelling, and a clear love for those who serve. With strong emotional ties and a warm shoutout from Petersen, the connection was powerful and personal. Ty’s music provides a calming, soulful backdrop and speaks directly to the hearts of our listeners. During the episode, he shares a few of his original songs, each with a touching backstory: 🎵 Blink of an Eye 🎵 I Am a Soldier 🎵 Love is Everywhere 💥 In the Works at WeP3: Wreaths Across America – Thank you for remembering the heroes laid to rest at our national cemeteries.

In this episode of We Got Your 6 @ 6: Patriot Playtime, we’re not just talking about travel—we’re talking about transformation. “Let’s Talk About Going Places” explores the physical, emotional, and spiritual journeys our veterans and first responders take as they move toward healing and purpose. We’re joined by Kathy Motlagh, who shares her powerful message about Think Virtues—a program rooted in emotional intelligence, leadership, and self-worth. Kathy brings passion, love, and positivity as she walks us through how Think Virtues helps veterans and first responders set goals, make plans, and learn how to thrive—even when they’re not feeling very worthy in the moment. We also welcome Jack Nelson, a gifted singer-songwriter and veteran who brings the road to life through music. Jack kicks things off with Roadrunner, a high-energy track that celebrates the thrill of moving forward. He then dives into More Than a Sacrifice, a song born in Djibouti during deployment, reflecting the quiet costs of service—missed birthdays, funerals, and Little League games. If you’ve served, this one will hit home. And finally, we hear Fog—a reminder that even when life gets cloudy, there’s still beauty in the struggle. This episode is about so much more than travel—it's about going places in your heart, mind, and future. Tune in. Get inspired. Let’s go places—together.

Tonight, Army veteran Chris Cilento will share with us about Ravenworks Studios and using the mode of art as a therapeutic tool with others.  Chris has been working on some amazing items, and the DAV is now recognizing him for some of his healing kind of art, which is exactly what his mission is.  He has spent a lot of time researching and shooting these amazing pictures, but he has times when he is in need of the action and therapy that taking these pictures brings. One of the biggest hurdles in building this as a therapy is funding, believe it or not …  He could do so much more for the veteran community with some funding for the cause. Southern Rock and Southern Grunge music that also falls into Red Dirt music style is what Josh Moore and the band, August Lows shares with us tonight. They have this interesting name, and it pertains to the time of year when the river near him is low, and how he was having a low time in his life.  He is trying very hard to bring back the local band and the freedom to be accepted for their own style, and not be a cookie cutter music artist.  The first song Josh shares is Old Man.  He was sure to share that it is one of the songs he has that talks about what is brought back from war, and that whole 22-a-day thing … you know, the invisible and deadly enemy. Not always so easy to deal with. The next song we played is called Want It To, and that was inspired by how we know that we are not always the best we cna be, but we want to try to be. He was raised on grunge, but also had some Axle Rose and other influences and we think he has done well coming through with all that background into his own style. The last song is The Devil Wants Me, and it is a song that has had a lot of thought, but has come through his friend who has been by his side through the challenges of losing some fingers, and Jacob Milton - this is his song! This is for sure not one of those cookie cutter versions!!!

We have Mr. Robert Heckler with us on this episode. Robert shares about his mission with The Warrior’s Refuge, out of West Columbia, TX.  They are a 501c3 Nonprofit ministry serving our nation’s homeless veterans by providing them with transitional housing and many resources to help end homelessness in their lives. Through housing, case management, counseling, training, and employment resources, our Veterans have the tools they need to succeed. The mission is to end Veteran Homelessness in Texas and ultimately throughout America. The belief is that since our veterans fought for us, it is our turn to fight for them. They do this by providing shelter, transitional living, case management, counseling, and vocational training, along with job placement. They have brought people in from all over the state of Texas and from several other states. The goal is to help the men and women who fought for us, have a place to push the restart button on life https://thewarriorsrefuge.us/  https://www.facebook.com/thewarriorsrefugetx  The music for this episode was brought to us by Mr. Jeff Canada, hailing from the great state of Texas.  https://open.spotify.com/artist/5wbr7AGbgW36quR6G513cW  Jeff believes in real music for real people.  He wants to make music that reaches people who may be struggling. The first song of the night was Monsters. This was a song written from a very dark place. It wasn’t written about suicide, but it was written about a recurring dream that sometimes made him not want to go to sleep at night.  The feedback from this song was relatable to people who had dealt with suicide in their lives. The video is very much about mental health and suicide.  His next song was called High Horse. This was sort of a dis track.  It’s an upbeat and fun song. The final song of the night was called Rain.  This song is about learning to live in the here and now.  Yesterday is dead and gone, tomorrow hasn’t happened yet, so focus on the present.

We had Louis Stockley on this episode. He was here to introduce us to his mission, Before 22 A Day. Louis is a driven person, and he has become a coach working with small groups to help them identify and address what is not working for them. The name "Before 22" is as significant as its meaning. Being there for them and helping them through the moment, but also being there to listen and work is the key. Inspiration for Louis has been the mentors he has had since he got out. Louis would like to launch the next retreat with 20 guys and have them be successful through this event. One of the biggest things the group would like to see transitional protocol - #1 everyone could get an MOS to help them over a longer period so they are ready when they are out, and #2 what if the VA could directly send people to the group as they are getting out and sent into the world. The music was brought by Scott D Taylor! He has been here before, and he was amazing as he shared his music live. Scott finds solace and comfort in music, and this is what he determined he would do when he retired from the Army. Scott is working on some of his own music, and we will be waiting to hear more from him as we go! The first song he shares, Dead Wrong, was written by him but for someone else - you listen and enjoy the bluesy sound flowing through the chords. There is a piece that reflects on how hard it is to find where you fit in after your service, and it is hard! He found that person, but it was still not easy, and it took some motivation to get that going. The second song Scott shares is called Ghost - its about a heartache and though he does not know what inspired it, he wrote it and created the chords for it :) Wreaths Across America  –  https://www.facebook.com/share/129xDbNmPTJ/?mibextid=WC7FNe  WeP3 RADIO  — WE are the leading music station featuring music created, written, produced and sung by those who have served their country and communities!!!  https://live365.com/station/WeP3-RADIO-a51414  Next Week's Guests:  29 June 2025  Robert Heckler Jeff Canada

How do you spell relief?  Why not use #humor !? Ms. Robin Pheonix Johnson - an Army veteran and subject matter expert on applied & therapeutic humor, and Veteran Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University joins us for this episode. She has learned that the best way to get through the day sometimes is to hit the #humor spot and not take yourself too seriously. Robin uses comedy to help her fellow veterans heal.  Reducing Veteran suicide and improving mental healthcare is a National imperative. Traditional approaches such as medication and therapy work, but HEALHARIOUS brings innovation and levity as a complementary resource. The applied & therapeutic use of humor allows participants to use comedy to engage in the process of cognitive restructuring thoughts from negative to be positive. She has a lengthy record of presentations of her humor. Check out her special on Vet TV, under Healarious, and see how funny she is.  Music on this episode is brought to us by KC Beck.  KC comes in with a ton of energy and things to share!  Hicks From the Sticks is the first song he shares on this episode. Pretty sure the name speaks for itself :)  The next song he shares is called ‘35’, he wrote this a couple years ago when he was 35, and it just tells that story :)  The last song is a tribute to his old Ford truck that he has fond memories of cruising down the highway in … and he just wanted to recreate that sound and feeling he had back then. Enjoy his song, Hearts and Tires!

We have the author of "Valhalla Boys", Brennen Morton here with us and he has some amazing things to share. He was Marines, Spec Ops, Sniper, etc, and some of these experiences show up in his books. He has a fantasy series, Pendulum Series, with a lead character who is experiencing some of the same traumas and experiences. Yes - this is somewhat Thrones style, but so wrapped into his notes and takes from his military experiences.  Brennan has so much to share, and he is one of those keep on going kind of guys! The music on this episode is brought to us by Ryan Daniel.  He’s a 10-year Air Force veteran with 7 deployments under his belt.  He has issues with PTSD and finds the stage to be his safe space.  Ryan encourages others to support the military and 1st responders.  He hopes that for the time he’s on stage playing music, he can take some of the stress off the heroes in his audience.  Feel Good Feelin’ was written by an Army veteran, Evan Elliot, who ended up taking his life a few years ago.  The title says it all.  This is a feel-good song.  His inspiration comes from Garth Brooks in the country genre, but 3 Doors Down and AC/DC also have a role in his style.  This song is promoted as the description of the person that Evan Elliot was in life.  Ryan grew up playing music since he was 7 years old. His grandfather was in the Military Band.  He ended up joining the Air Force and traveling with the Tops in the Blue Air Force band.  He attributes his success to God first, then his work ethic and his love of veterans and first responders.  The second song is called Camo. It was written by a really good friend who called him and asked him to sing this song.  This is another feel-good song.  It makes you want to get out there in your favorite camo and have a little fun.  The final song is Backroads and Bonfires.  This just won video of the year, and when you hear it, you will know why!

What an extremely lively crew and audience we have on this episode! The name ‘Redonkulas’ is fitting, and you will be pleased to know that the episodes created by Terrence Popp are meant to entertain you right out of any stinking thinking. He has so many stories to tell, and he has found a way to deal with and help others cope through the use of comedy. This does get deep, Terrence has a lot of questions about why things are playing out against him and those like him … why is our world so backwards!! When it all comes down, life really can be #redonkulas if we take ourselves too seriously. Music for this show was led by Jeff Jacobs.  Jeff is admittedly not a service member, but can connect back to a time when his grandfather went through some stuff with night tremors.  Jeff’s first song was titled Always On My Mind.  We lost Jeff after his first song so we moved on to playing some music from some of our previous guests. We fired up a little Chris Turner and got to all take a virtual trip to Waffle House with his song titled Take You Out.   The last song on the show is Mike Corrado with Stand.   Things we are working on: Wreaths Across America  –  https://www.facebook.com/share/129xDbNmPTJ/?mibextid=WC7FNe  WeP3 RADIO  — WE are the leading music station featuring music created, written, produced and sung by those who have served their country and communities!!!  https://live365.com/station/WeP3-RADIO-a51414 

What a rush of an episode this is. We have an awesome panel - with guests Steve Guider and Jimmy King.  Steve is here in MN and has helped honor and remember those who have fought for our country by running the Veterans Memorial Group that presents an amazing memorial park in Blaine. Shout outs - Rick and Denise Swanson - they have been rockstars in helping with the flowers and landscaping as they prepare for Memorial Day.  Today is the dedication of the Fallen Soldier memorial as well.  Jimmy is an amputee who has decided that he will face life by not avoiding or hiding his loss of limb, but instead by making as having as much fun as possible.  Celebrate those we have lost, celebrate those who lost their lives fighting for our country and say their names to keep them alive for eternity.  You can catch more about Jimmy and his wife by checking out Grumpy Crayon Eater and Resident Gimp on social media.  The conversation opens with a discussion about how to address each other on Memorial Day correctly… it seems Happy Memorial Day is just not right. Music tonight was a mix of some of our favorites - and that is tongue in cheek, because we have all the favorites on the radio and the show!!  We share ‘Life is Good’ by Steven John first. The story Petersen shares is only one of the many that we have about this song. This has the impact of sunshine after a storm.  Keep in mind, when things are rough, we just need to get to the next stop. ‘Dear Mom’ by Shannon Book is the next song, and we were graced with Shannon popping in to say hi and share about the moms in the video. This is the song that will get you in the heart and the feels, and you need to watch the full length video with it as well.  We close out the show with Scotty Hasting’s haunting song, ‘How do you Choose?’.  It is fair to ask God why your buddy doesn’t get to come home, but you are here living and figuring out how to survive the guilt and the pain left behind.

This week starts with a new friend - Zach Johnson with Roger Up. Zach is a busy person and sounds like he will not be slowing down anytime soon. There is a lot of depth to the Roger Up program, and he shares so much about the mission and the work they are doing. One really cool new thing that they are doing is a brand new Women’s-Only Group!  Berlynn is moving on this, and it is a great place for women to meet and share and heal! They have get away coming up and though it is full right now, they will have much more coming soon. Since July 2023 they have raised over $274,000 and it has all gone back into programming. Zach’s passion and desire to help has been triggered by the loss of friend and brother:  CPL Curtis Michael Swenson - KIA 4-2-10 We get to hang with Jesus Daniel Hernandez on this episode, and as Jesus is singing to us on this show, he shares his soul.  Things have been rough, but he is getting through it, and he will not stop being that man. Jesus has been taking classes and is learning how to be a web designer, and he wants to use his gift to fight others. During the show, he shares something he wrote a while back, and it is so incredibly touching. It relates to the survivor guilt, and he has a bit of a double-edged sword as he came back from war without brothers, but also left his family, especially his son, to go to that war…. There is no way to get that time back.  Jesus first shares L’Orologio, which is a reminder that we are here a very short time so we need to make the best of it. This is a testament to his love for his son and for his brothers that didn’t make it home.  The second song Jesus shares is La Llorona and this is a folk story of 'the Crying Woman who is a vengeful ghost in Mexican folklore who is said to roam near bodies of water mourning her children whom she drowned in a jealous rage after discovering her husband was unfaithful to her. Whoever hears her crying either suffers misfortune or death and their life becomes unsuccessful in every field.[1]  The last song shared by Jesus Daniel Hernandez, The Walking Tenor, is Amor Ti Viete - from the opera, Fedora, is about a woman’s love that was denied him…. Her eyes say she loves you but her kiss says she doesn’t want you.  Things we are working on: Wreaths Across America  –  https://www.facebook.com/share/129xDbNmPTJ/?mibextid=WC7FNe  WeP3 RADIO  — WE are the leading music station featuring music created, written, produced and sung by those who have served their country and communities!!!  https://live365.com/station/WeP3-RADIO-a51414  Next Week's Guests:  18 May 2025  Toni Woodman  Cody Kelly

We got to hang with MR. Delabouche this weekend, and learn about what he does with his Vetmaps program. What an interesting discussion and an amazing couple - James and Wendy!  They have all information you need if medical cannabis is the way you want to try.  Jonathan:   Fighting the war within!   Music on this episode was brought in by Robert DePrato, a name new to us on The People’s Patriot Project.  Bob was a part of Special Forces and has struggled with PTSD and TBI, receiving a Purple Heart for his troubles.  2005 -2024 in groups.  He wasn’t a video gamer, so he taught himself to play guitar in between deployments.  Around 2020, he found himself having to deal with a lot of untreated trauma and it all blew over in 2021.  Through all of this time he found that music was one of the things that helped him deal with all of the struggles.  His influence in music comes from Johnny Cash, Jimmy Hendricks. Since getting out of the military Bob has written over 60 songs and continues to write and improve his songwriting talent.  The first song of the night was What Would JC Do? This song was a mix of a real life story from a Marine Raider and a love for Johnny Cash music. Second song was No Way To Die. It’s a song about his friend Robbie Miller.  Robbie was stuck on a ridgeline and charged the enemy taking out 12 before succumbing to his wounds, allowing his team to make it out. Robbie was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. Bob would like to go back to school, start a business and all while getting his music off the ground. Sounds like he’s gonna be a busy, busy man.  His last song of the night was called Fighting Men.  This one is about going to war, coming back and dealing with the transitions and the trauma left from the war.  Fighting Men is about those that go to war and have to come back home and continue the fight. Sometimes the fight never ends.   .

We have Amanda Brown on this episode, to share her mission with Battlin’ Betties! She brought her friend, Sara, and her husband, Jeremy (president of the Tenn. US Veterans Motorcycle Club - 100% Veterans helping Veterans, picking up any slack that is not taken care of otherwise - veteran brotherhood) with her to share all they have been up to!  Jeremy has such an awesome Wreaths Across America story to share, and you can hear it on this show!  Amanda is a hard - working Battlin Betty, and her passion is to raise sponsors for the wreaths it takes to cover the veteran headstones in her cemetery down there in Tennessee and to support all that is first responder and veteran-related needs.  Dawn Rix (link arms and go out on our way)  is here to share what she has been up to since the last visit. Dawn is the most sweetest and most talented friend a person could have.  The first song Dawn shares tonight is Chosen One. Dawn shared that this one was written in memory of her cousin and her loved one who were in a motorcycle accident and lost their lives … she was given advice about life and how to be the happiest before this happened, and Dawn came up with this song. The second song from Dawn came right after a tight discussion about where we are as a country and a world when it comes to safety, security and the good old days… this song is called “America” and it is simply amazing.  We finished off the evening with one more song from Dawn called “Bent Not Broken”.  While we did not get the story behind the song, we know that it comes from Dawn’s heart.  Things we are working on: Wreaths Across America  –  https://www.facebook.com/share/129xDbNmPTJ/?mibextid=WC7FNe  WeP3 RADIO  — WE are the leading music station featuring music created, written, produced and sung by those who have served their country and communities!!!  https://live365.com/station/WeP3-RADIO-a51414  Next Week's Guests:  11 May 2025  Robert DePrato - music James Ladabouche - Vetmaps Check us out at THE PEOPLE’S PATRIOT PROJECT:  WE GOT YOUR 6 @ 6:00, featured with Heroes Media Group.  Every Sunday night we are live  at 1800 Central time on our social media channels.

There is a part of this where she shares how the trauma can be dealt with by transferring it through parts of the brain.  It is so crazy interesting!  Pam is so busy, she is on study panels and boards for research at ASU, and all the while she is on the board of 22ZERO and running the plans behind the screen. All these studies and research are showing amazing results with the process that 22ZERO provides, and the results are amazing!

We have the pleasure of visiting with Mr. Aaron Hale, who shares where his story started, and where he is today.  When tragedy hits and we fall to the bottom of our despair, will we lay down and succumb, or will we pick ourselves up and get moving. One of Aaron’s responses is “What else was I going to do?”  He is all positivity, and deals with things one step at a time. With a beautiful family to take care of, he strives to be better every day.  And when life is not cherries, you can change up the recipe! “The story of my struggle might be the blueprint to someone else’s survival.” On this episode, we chose to pick three songs that we have not played in a while.  You will hear Mr. Tim McDonald for his rendition of a Ray Wylie Hubbard song called Snake Farm.  It’s an upbeat kinda funny song that you just have to hear. Next, we played one of those songs that just speaks life into almost any day, Life Is Good by Steven John. The reason this song was chosen was due to our guest, Aaron Hale.  He kept saying over and over that he wanted to live life to the fullest.  He seems that despite his injuries, he has chosen to look at life and let it be good for himself.  Lastly, we played Sal Gonzales’ Heroes.  Such a powerful song. Sal has been with us for a while and this is one of his songs that can get you in the feels.

We enjoy visiting with Tami McVay and hearing about her mission, One of the Few.  Tami shares her backstory and what landed her where she is and why she wanted to start the One of the Few mission. She loves being involved and her Marine roots run deep and strong!  She shows up and she listens and that is the gift. She tries to share this gift not only to help but also to train others to help this cause. We have an incredible musician to share this week, Tim McDonald! Tim shares his reasons for joining the military and what brought him to find his passion for music!  Imagine looking for your job, you get to the letter P alphabetically, and you ask what is Piano???  And there he went!  Mark Chesnutt, Blake Shelton, Olivia Newton-John, and Hank Williams are just some of the musicians he has worked with. His first song was about losing a good friend in the military whether it’s from ETS, PCS, or loss of life and having to go visit them in their new home, Arlington…It is titled Livin’, Breathin’, Having Fun. The second song of the show is Snake Farm.  This song is a cult classic originally sung by Ray Wylie Hubbard. It’s one of those songs that you just have to hear. It just sounds nasty. It pretty much is. The last song is called Encore because every show needs one.  It’s about hanging with the girl you like and enjoying the Encore.

We have the pleasure of meeting Keri Anne Wilcox and hearing about her mission, Valor Ranch Texas. Keri is a gold star wife, and shares the joy of running this mission with her partner, Josh. They have such a great vibe, and the energy shows in the way they share the story of helping others. While the mission is geared toward women who have served, they are open to all. Women seem to be left behind a little differently, and the Ranch is there to help support and get them back on their feet. Big things coming up include increasing they healing garden and then adding more tiny cottages!!! This will open up more opportunities, but will also allow them to care for more elderly veterans, as they tend to be forgotten sometimes.  Our music for this show comes from a new name to us:  Michael Allen.  Not much puts a moment of silence in our show, but Michael has done just that. His last song on the show has our panel caught in their thoughts and looking at the message of the pain that is endured when you lose a battle buddy, or anyone close, to suicide. He’s new to the music scene, but you’d never guess it listening to his music. He’s in the Army currently with 5th Special Forces group. MSG Allen is knocking on the door of retirement after serving for 17 years. He and his wife are expecting their first child very soon.  He’s been doing music since high school, but really only picked up the guitar again after he quit drinking and needed to stay present about 2 years ago.  The first song is War Machine. This song details the journey from civilian to soldier, serving in combat and returning home to deal with depression and PTSD.  The second song is called Slow Down.  This one is a reflection on a low point in life. Michael realized that if he just would take a step back and slow down then he would be alright.  This song captures some of the setbacks that a lot of veterans go through when they get out of combat or service.  The last song of the night is called The Fatal Affair.  This one is a kind of sad song.  He quit drinking and all of the things that were buried under the alcohol started to resurface. He googled “is thinking about taking your own life normal” and his wife found the Google search and it led to conversations that needed to be had. He also recently lost a friend to suicide, Chad Buckley.  This song was written recently and it is haunting in the most beautiful way. It is raw and it is emotional and definitely has a Shock & Awe factor.  This is just a song that has to be heard. #inspiration #wep3 #letsgrow Things we are working on: Wreaths Across America  –  https://www.facebook.com/share/129xDbNmPTJ/?mibextid=WC7FNe  WeP3 RADIO  — WE are the leading music station featuring music created, written, produced and sung by those who have served their country and communities!!!  https://live365.com/station/WeP3-RADIO-a51414  If you would like to watch the live version, you can find it here on YouTube:   https://www.youtube.com/live/VTUuOZam9cs?si=2cViyHofYbF6xQ2h  Next Week's Guests:  20 April 2025  Aaron Hale Scott Taylor
