2026 Muster Guest Speaker: Dion C. McInnis ’03
Dion C. McInnis (’03) doesn’t just remember the traditions of Aggieland—he helps build them. As the Head Stack for the first off-campus Bonfires in 2003 and 2004, Dion played a pivotal role in a defining era of Texas A&M history. Today, he serves as a vital bridge between the past and the future, acting as a Board Member and trusted adviser to the students who keep the flame alive.
Dion’s work extends far beyond the stack. He is a mentor in leadership and communications, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with students through their most challenging moments—from the heat of the build to their selfless disaster relief efforts during the 2025 Kerr County floods. As a storyteller, he has brought the spirit of Bonfire to the national stage, appearing on ESPN, TexAgs, and as the host of the Perimeter Fires podcast.
Through the lens of the Dion C. McInnis Gallery, he has captured the grit and soul of the Aggie spirit, garnering over 15 million views worldwide. Dion lives in Aggieland with his wife, Candice ’05, their four children, and the project’s loyal companion, ACe.
Muster is one of the most time-honored traditions at Texas A&M and is held on April 21 every year. Informal gatherings began as early as 1883, but the event was officially recognized in 1922. What Texas A&M students feel is not just the camaraderie of fellow Aggies, it is the Spirit of hundreds of thousands of Aggies who have gone before us, and who will come after us. Muster is how that Spirit is remembered and celebrated, and it will always continue to unite Texas A&M and the Aggie family. Today, Muster is celebrated at more than 300 locations worldwide.
