What is the biggest professional goal you have accomplished? 
Becoming a chief warrant officer in the United States Army. Early in my service, I was very lucky to be around some amazing leaders who happened to be warrant officers. The experiences and lessons I learned from them helped drive me to accomplish that goal. 

What is one word you would use to describe yourself and why? 
Passionate. Whatever I am doing in life — from my family to my career to my hobbies — I go all in. This has a lot of perks, but also comes with its own set of challenges. 

What do you collect? Why? 
I collect saltwater fish and corals. It is a hobby I always wanted to get into and a little over a year ago, I jumped right in. Anyone who knows me knows that I become very passionate about hobbies. They quickly overtake my free time, or in this case, my basement. In the evenings you can often find me relaxing by just watching the fish tank. 

What are you grateful for? 
I am most grateful for my three daughters, Grace, Brooke and Emily. I love watching them grow up and see the young ladies they are becoming. I also learn from them. I believe being a "Girl Dad" helped me grow as a person and a leader.
