Judgement, decisiveness, integrity, dependability, Tact, initiative, unselfishness, caring, loyalty, and enthusiasm.

Experience you cannot put a price on- Veterans were willing to give everything, up to and including their life.

What’s a memorable experience from your time in service?

Gearing up Military Police Marines with their gear, gun, bullets, and pepper spray, everyday for a year, ensuring safety on our base. (They ended up stopping a potential mass shooter at the gates.)

Becoming a Father. Bringing a baby into the world is a life changing experience, and while not in the immediate plan when it happened, I embraced it and now have 2 beautiful children (one who gets his DRIVER’S LICENSE this December…)
