Organizational Goals:
The 726th is a fantastic organization! My goal is to continue to create a deep family culture within the squadron so that all Airman take pride in. I want the 726th to be a home away from home that both Airmen and their families feel comfortable in and can enjoy.
Work Philosophy: My work philosophy is that all Airmen are part of a larger team and no one succeeds at work without the individual to the left or the right. Additionally, the work at this organization does not successfully proceed without the support of family back home. Balance is key! Teamwork is essential!
