This was my dream job. One that I left another dream to pursue. Unfortunately, after a year this organization merged with another at Fort Leavenworth, KS and a move to the Mid-West wasn’t in the cards. 😢As an Army Training Specialist I developed and evaluated training and education materials pertaining to the Army Profession, Army Ethic, and Character Development.

After 20+ years of military service I took a short pause to focus on strengthening personal relationships and spending the summer as a stay-at-home dad. Throughout the transition from Soldier to Civilian I realized that my passion for training, leader-development, and service to others is stronger than ever. To pay the bills I did contract training, business development consulting, and worked on my Blog (www.VennLeader.com) based on a leader development model I’ve used for the last 15-years.
