I've received a lot of recognition lately, and I wanted to take a moment to share a little. This isn't about the awards. It's about the people who stood beside me, the promise we make every time the tones sound, and the God who deserves all the glory. Thank you for taking a few minutes to watch. 🎥 youtu.be/rRiUG8Z5KSU #FireCaptainGus #VirtusHumilis #FireService #FirstResponders #Leadership #SoliDeoGloria

I am deeply grateful to the City of Abilene for today’s recognition. Thank you to Mayor Weldon Hurt, the City Council, and our community for this incredible honor.

I’m especially thankful for my crew, my family, and everyone who stood beside me on February 10. #AbileneTX #CityOfAbilene #PublicService #Firefighter #Paramedic #FirstResponders #Gratitude #HumbleValor #ToGodBeTheGlory #Teamwork #ServiceBeforeSelf
