Why did you select your profession?
When I stepped onto West Point’s campus in 1997 I was immediately inspired by the opportunity to become a lifelong leader in service to our nation. My subsequent experiences in school, the Pentagon, Germany, Kosovo, Iraq, and Tajikistan instilled in me a drive to lead teams to solve the biggest problems.
