Special Veteran Spotlight!

Dr. Scott McNeal (Dr. M.) talks with Jeffery “Aloysius”* Jump“ former D-II cross-country and track and field athlete, ultra-distance runner, Ironman finisher, cattleman, father, and a long-time friend.

From small town Missouri, Jeff walks-on as a student-athlete at Southwest Baptist University – a D-II school in MO.  Upon graduation excitement begins. Jeff embraces the more endurance side of running.

Known for his “warrior” mindset, many tattoos, and multiple cattle-kicks to the head, Jeff completes a full Ironman triathlon, a 100-mile race, and more impressive, raises his daughter, Julia.

Jeff reflects on his collegiate days, including meeting legendary Arkansas Coach John McDonald. He promotes the value of pizza, oranges, pickles, and “flat Coke” in any 100-miler.

Finally, Aloysius shares meaningful scripture from Mark – the Transfiguration – and focuses our attention on who is most important.

 *Aloysius is a traditional yet underused name meaning “famous warrior.” German and Latin origins.
