Lastly, a big thank you to Chief Chuck Downey and his team at the New York City Fire Department Fire Academy for their incredible hospitality. We hope everyone had the chance to learn something new and valuable. Your support and expertise are greatly appreciated! If you didn’t know, Chief Downey is also on the 2025 ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame. While we can’t vote for you, Chief, you definitely have our support! Here are some of his impressive stats as a safety at Stony Brook University 1987 First Team All-America selection, 239 tackles, 13 interceptions, and the first Division III player to reach 1,000 yards on both punt and kickoff returns in a career. He still holds 12 NCAA Division III records and 23 school records. Best of luck, Chief! #seawolves #firefighter #chief #football #halloffame #playtowin

It’s a humbling reminder that even experienced leaders like our Managing Director, Chief Frank Leeb can benefit from revisiting the basics. A proper push-up is a fundamental exercise that not only builds physical strength but also serves as a symbol of discipline and persistence. It’s a valuable lesson that no matter how accomplished we become, maintaining foundational skills and staying committed to personal growth are essential.
