Colleagues describe them as "I had the privilege to meet JR back in 2017 where he and I operated as the Contingency Contracting Officers for Air Forces Southern Command. Our mission was to plan and be ready for anything in the Southern Hemisphere. JR’s Georgia boy charm is as true as it gets. He’s honest and kind and truly enjoys taking care of people. He’s not afraid to take on tough missions or make hard decisions. The mindset of work smarter not harder is a trait that can difficult by nature but JR always lended an ear and allowed everyone’s voice to be heard to not only make the mission happen but a flawless mission. In this position there were several missions that we had to operate in that had a zero fail. Many times JR would be the sole Contracting Officer to execute POTUS tasking in Central and South America. This would include the entire package of bodies,teams, mx, logistic movements. All would fall to him to execute those contracts. JR and I still talk a couple times a month and we both know that military makes it hard to cross paths but I truly hope that I get the opportunity to work with him again.", "I worked alongside MSgt James Mullis when he was stationed as a Staff Acquisition Manager at 12th Air Force/Air Forces Southern HQ. As a Geospatial Integration Officer, I’m responsible for producing map products for the A4 directorate office, which J.R. was a part of from November of 2016 to February 2019. During J.R.’s tenure at 12AF (AFSOUTH) A4, I witnessed him build partnerships with many individuals throughout our office, as well as with others outside of our directorate. J.R. is an excellent team player and works well with others. I worked directly with J.R. to produce for him maps during counter-drug operations, humanitarian engagements, disaster response, USSOUTHCOM exercises, and during POTUS trips within the Central and South American AOR. His excellent professionalism and perseverance made him an asset to our A4 team.", and "It was an awesome adventure working with J.R.! He is always motivated, innovative, and openminded to new ideas and processes. His professionalism and positive attitude when working with folks within the organization and outside customers were unmatched. J.R. was the guy who helped bridge relationships and ensure an inclusive environment. He knows how to take care of the people around him and strive to promote not only his but the team's excellence! I have always held J.R. in the highest regard, he would be an asset to any organization."
