Favorite thing about working for the Army: Serving Soldiers - greatest reward I experience is a thank you from a Soldier. The Army has always been part of my life growing up on the campus of Missouri Military Academy where my grandfather and father both worked to going to college on an Army scholarship, subsequently serving 20 years in the Army and finally returning to this command where I have great opportunities. In my mind it’s about duty, honor, country, and serving Soldiers. As a country, we are fighting in two wars, yet the majority of our citizens feel no impact.
What made you want to work for the Army: We are an Army at war and I want to continue to serve.
