Redemption Island bio
Excerpts from his official CBS bio page:
"Personal Claim to Fame: Making the Dallas Cowboys with two other free agents out of 110 in 1981 and playing for 13 years. I'm also proud of my own start-up company and all it's accomplished.
Pet Peeves: People who litter and people who don't respect others.
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Tom Westman - just a pretty normal likeable guy.
Why you think you'll "survive" Survivor: With 13 years experience in the NFL, I have great teamwork. I made sure we all worked together for a winning cause. I have the ability to keep spirits high and keep people's eye on our goal."
