RB enlisted in the US Army in June, 1967 and volunteered to serve two tours in Vietnam, the first as an E-5 Squad Leader in Charlie Company C-75 Rangers; the second as the door gunner on extraction missions. He returned to graduate from Marshall University to be commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant. He received a M.Ed. From Virginia Tech, and served as an ROTC instructor and led the Ranger program there. He was Airborne (Jump Master), Ranger and Special Forces; serving throughout the Middle-East and Asia, including Operation Desert Storm. He retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1991. After military retirement, RB’s second career was in education. He taught JROTC at Hopewell and Carroll County High Schools, was a counselor at Wilderness Leadership Academy, and also served as principal of The Presbyterian Children’s Home of the Highlands. RB’s third career was a calling to be a prison chaplain, serving first at River North Correctional Center in Grayson County; and then Bland Correctional Center, near his home. Throughout all of his various careers, RB was also a passionate farmer, who always believed in sustainable agriculture. He passed with grace and the assurance that his faith sustained him.
