Hello Cowboys fans,
I feel truly blessed to be a part of this amazing organization. I am thrilled to drum and cheer on such a great football team this year.
Originally, I'm from Oklahoma but then later moved to Dallas, Texas. I am currently a student at the University of Texas at Arlington pursuing a degree in business management. I want to thank my family for all their love and support along the way because this opportunity is one that I will always remember and cherish. The game day hype, the experience, and the people I have met along the way are rare to come by in life. I can truly call the people of DCRB my second family. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us and I am stoked to say that I'm a DCRB member!
Go Cowboys,
Elijah
