A Texas A&M construction science graduate began the new year by realizing a long-held dream to become a Texas Ranger.
When he was a middle school student in Plano, Texas, Drew Pilkington, who earned a Bachelor of Science in Construction Science degree from Texas A&M in 1997, went to an event that would change his life, according to a recent story in the Beeville Bee-Picayune.
"I saw a DPS trooper during a horse show in McKinney and I knew then I wanted to become a Texas Ranger," Pilkington told reporter Gary Kent.
He officially joined the elite Texas law enforcement agency Jan. 1, 2010, and will work with Ranger Company D in Victoria, Goliad, DeWitt, Lavaca, Calhoun and Jackson counties.
