Gallup Strengths: Adaptability | Ideation | Relator | Intellection | InputI grew up on a small ranch in Southern Oregon, where I learned the values of community, family, hard work, patriotism, self-sufficiency, and independence.I joined the military in 2009.

My service in the military has taught me humility, pride, teamwork, and adaptability.Humility was taught to me by serving every day and knowing that my service is supported by great people.Pride was a tough one to learn and unlearn. I had to learn that my contributions to the team were worthwhile and worthy of pride.Teamwork was difficult, but I learned how to adapt myself every day to the needs of the team and the needs of my colleagues.I've had to continuously adapt myself to a changing environment, changes in my team, changes in my job, and changes in my position.I am currently a student at Hillsdale College, where I am a member of the Action Shooting Team. I am also a sponsored 3 Gun shooter for Grey Ghost Precision.
