What was your role in the military?
I served 25 years as an airborne cryptolinguist on platforms like the RC-135 RIVET JOINT, OC-135 OPEN SKIES and MC-12 LIBERTY, and finished up leading 1,600 personnel globally as the career field manager at the Pentagon. I retired in 2017.

How has being a veteran shaped you?
I joined the military right out of high school when I had no idea what I wanted. I was convinced it would only be four years—and I stayed for 25. Through this time I got my education, focused my career goals and ambitions, and got to be part of some of the most rewarding missions with people aligned toward a goal.
