Describe your passion for the job.

I enjoy being able to provide war fighters what they need to get the mission done on the front line. Supporting both Army and Air Force units helps me better understand what each service brings to the fight.

Tell us about your family and what you enjoy doing during your spare time?

I call Charleston, S.C., home. I'm married and have three children. During my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, working out at the gym and pursuing my master's degree.

How does your job support the Soldier?

I single-handedly am responsible for the management of all civil engineering life support contracts, most notably base custodial services valued at $10 million.

What would you like others to know about you?

I am always a Soldier first.
