I am here! As a Military Science Instructor, I am here to motivate, to engage, to teach, and help the cadets along the way. I will introduce the cadets to leadership skills, drill and ceremonies, inspections, customs and courtesies, and Army traditions. These helps the cadet succeed in the future.

I use my experience to bring relativity to the lessons being thought and encourage the cadets to do the same.
One of the foundation blocks of my philosophy is holding my cadets accountable. Cadets will develop an understanding to care for others, demonstrate followership and overcomes adversity by being placed in a role play chain of command positions. They learn very early on of the responsibility that comes with being a leader and great the honor that lies in serving a great nation. The standards and guidelines are set into policies, handbooks, and examples. They learn how to be accountable for their actions and that of their peers by understanding the need for discipline and enforcing the standards.
