Enjoying time with friends and family, preferably in the outdoors!

Organizational Goals:

Mission – Medically Ready Airmen, both in our wartime portfolio and Wing readiness

Leadership – Developing our Airmen; building the AF’s bench

Community – Caring for our Wingman and their families; Community ambassadors

Two tenants underpin my leadership philosophy.  First, regardless of our respective rank, position or title, every Airmen has a leadership role that is critical to advancing the mission.  Second, reputation and teamwork matter greatly, and trust is the foundation to achieve both.
