Camp Pendleton, Ca

Student – Always learning from the machine, the experiences, and from others, how we can do it better. I learned from my Marines and my peers everyday what hard work, dedication, loyalty, and sacrifice look and feel like. Teacher – as a Professional Aviator I trained to execute and to train others to fly and execute a multitude of missions in almost any environment.Mentor – I had the absolute honor of mentoring incredible young men and women in professional aviation and in principles of Leadership both in and out of the cockpit.Manager – I had the privilege of leading one of the largest safety and standardization programs in the fleet responsible for maintaining the most safe and efficient aircraft procedures and training techniques we could employ to keep our aircrew safe and accomplish the vital missions of Marine Aviation.Through my time in the service I learned a lot that I will always carry with me, here are a few of my favorites:1. You’re not as important as you think you are – it’s not about you. It’s about what you can do to build the team, and when the work is done, go and spend time with your loved ones.2. Never be late - Never. Whether landing in the zone, delivering ordnance on a target, or running a meeting - punctuality is an extension of your character.3. If you have the ability, you have the responsibility – step up and take ownership of your piece of the puzzle. Seek out opportunities to improve the lives of those around you.
