Testimonial: Justin Maroney

First and foremost a big War Eagle!!!  I hope all is well. Congratulations on running for state representative.  I wish you the best of luck!!!  If anyone deserves to represent Alabama it should be you.  You thought me a great quote when I was younger; "The are three types of people in this world.  Ones that make things happen, ones that watch things happen, and ones who wonder what happened. 

You have always been a top great leader and a go getter.  You have the drive and the motivation to accomplish anything in this world.  I had the best dad in the world, but so like many others you were my second father.  A person who helped me develop from a growing boy into a successful man.  You thought me how to dress for success, walk tall and be proud, how to relate to other people, but most of all how to never give up on anything you want to achieve. 

I played college baseball, got a BA in forensics, commissioned into the Army, a Federal CID Special Agent, A York rite and Scottish rite Freemason, A Shriner, Made the All Army fight team out of 11,383 on Ft. Riley, won several Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournaments, and 2-0 as an amateur fighter.  Many of these feats would have only been a dream without the basis and growing knowledge you have given me.  My greatest memory will be the boy on the football field who caught the winning touchdown pass at the Green hand ceremony. 

Mr. Whaley, I am just a very small percent of the lives you have touched and developed.  Again I will never be able to thank you for all you have done for me or my family.  Through the years you have not just been a mentor, but one of my best friends.  Again thank you and I commend you on running for state and will always have my support.  When you win I will be one of the first in line to shake you hand and congratulate you.  Until then take care of yourself.
