I served my country for nearly 22 years in the United States Air Force and throughout my career I witnessed the direct impact that leaders have on people, both positive and negative. The military afforded me the greatest opportunity to not only be shaped by some of the best leaders this nation has to offer, but also to shape some of the finest people you will ever come across. I was blessed and honored to have the opportunity to lead teams and individuals at all levels and was fortunate that they placed their trust in me as their leader. I learned a great deal about leadership during my service. One of the most important lessons was that respect, is still earned and not freely given when it comes to matters of integrity and character. In addition to leadership, the military taught me how to follow which not only served me well throughout my military career but aided in my transition to civilian life.
