The retired Army Command Sergeant Major speaks in a modest, humble tone, though the excitement in his voice spikes each time the conversation pivots to family.
There’s his wife, Vurgess, who served 27 years in the Army before retiring last year as a Sergeant Major, and his oldest son, Xavier, currently enlisted in the Air Force.
There’s his daughter, Chelsirae, a regional director for a staffing company, and the twins, Alvin Jr. and Aaron. Born within a half hour of each other, the two have become the adopted sons of El Paso, Texas, through their accomplishments on the football field.
