good follower. Secondly, it is a major part the first charge given to me as a Non-commissioned Officer (NCO) in the United States Air Force (USAF). And thirdly, I will experience a significant amount of personal and professional improvement as I apply what I have learned. I will not always be the “leader” in every situation that I find myself in, and by exercising Followership, I will be able to adapt to the circumstances and lead those that I am responsible for as we face the challenges ahead.…
Leadership Philosophy My leadership philosophy was acquired while serving this great nation in two branches of service; the United States Air Force (USAF) (1985 – 1995), the United States Army Reserves (USAR) (2010 – 2012) and the USAR Active Guard Reserve (AGR) (2012 – Present). During this 14 year timeframe I developed the morals and values that shaped me into a better, well rounded, Soldier. My military background added a knowledge base that cannot be learned in our educational system.…

It is difficult to think of a greater honor than to serve a greater purpose. live my dream of being an officer in the Air Force, and give back to a country that has done so much for my family.

Joining the United States Air Force was one of the craziest decisions of my life; however, when life gets crazy, you need an equally crazy solution. The main points that lead to my first day at basic we’re some of the most defeating and inspiring moments of my life. I was struggling to hold a minimum wage job, just had my heart broken by my high school sweet heart and was living couch-to-couch. If it wasn’t for my failures, I wouldn’t have everything I have today. Transitioning from high school…
