"Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened, but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm." (Robert Louis Stevenson)Hello, my name is Kit Patterson and the quote is my mantra in response to questions about how I problem solve, make decisions, plan programs and deal with stress.After my career as an Army Armor Officer, I worked as a defense contractor for 18 years throughout the Washington, D.C. beltway in defense systems acquisition and deployed these systems globally.I just started working as the Ford Team Automotive Administrator, Calibre-Zantech Mentor Protegee Program. After 8-10 hours behind the screen or working on the phone, I look forward to relaxing on my mountain bike with a ride on a single track track around our farm in Central Kentucky.I am no longer available for work since this new position is a great opportunity to work remotely from home after the last six months of hopping a plane and being away for four to six weeks at a time. I look forward to assist transitioning Soldiers avoid the same transition pitfalls I experienced during my transition several years ago.
