I have a soft side. I cry at movies especially when someone helps another.
Who are your heroes or who has inspired you? Why?
Mom and Dad instilled work ethics not to worry about money and time; do what is asked of you, don't complain, just get the job done the best you can. SSG Martir, my first squad leader, taught me to always do my best; never settle for less and always do everything to standard. Soldier's inspire me to be all I can be on a daily bases. CSM (R) Leon Hite, a standard setter. Always squared away, professional in everything he does. The best NCO I have had the pleasure working with. MG (R) Jim Simmons, Jim Myles and LTG Tony Jones made my job easy; Soldier's always came first to them "Taking Care Of Soldier's" was their motto.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A Soldier!

What AMCOM means to me: AMCOM is one of many organizations that on day-to-day bases, focus is to help the War Fighter no matter where they are. That to me is what it's all about. Our Soldiers depend on us, even though most don't know where their parts and equipment come from, they know some organization is taking care of them. I know AMCOM takes care of Soldier's.
