Bio
I enjoyed my time in the Army. I’ve spent my entire time in the Army improving the productivity and performance of various units and Soldiers. I personally contributed time on and off duty toward assisting subordinates to meet or exceed their personal and professional goals. I have been fortunate to have been in leadership positions my entire career. I’ve always taken every opportunity to train and perfect my craft. I’ve always volunteered for the hard jobs that nobody else wanted. I welcome leadership challenges and I enjoy making a difference in the mission and the lives of Soldiers.
