“I joined the Army because I wanted to challenge myself and work with/lead others who were committed towards serving the country. I have been an Infantry Officer my entire career. My favorite thing about the Army is the relationships you build throughout your time in service. I have been tremendously fortunate to work with and for some amazing people. The bonds that have been built over my career will last a lifetime.”
