Taking Care of People
September 23, 2016
— Throughout my military career, I have had the honor of meeting several military members' extended family. Many times, these family members would arrive at base due to hospitalizations or other hardships. One thing that continues to catch me by surprise is how shocked the families are at the level of care within our units. The non-military family...

Avoiding tsunamis of malfeasance
August 31, 2016
— In a September 2015 New Republic article, ethicist Edward Queen rails against Volkswagen for its recent “unmistakable malfeasance.” He describes their actions in the following way: “This was an intentionally designed and executed violation of the law in both its letter and its spirit. It also was an ethical violation of the highest level.”...

Command: No Greater Honor
May 26, 2016
— Since commissioning I have desired to lead Airmen. I believe, commanding Airmen is the greatest honor any commissioned officer can achieve. The privilege and honor of being responsible for the successes and failures of American patriots serving something bigger than themselves, in the noblest occupation known to man, is unprecedented.That said, the...

JBA commemorates Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
January 14, 2016
— As a nation, we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday on the third Monday in January. In 1994, Congress designated the Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday as a national day of service. This is the only federal holiday that honors a person that is not a president. It is a given that most people have heard or know of Dr. Martin...

— "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how." -Friedrich NietzcheA man, wearing a green t-shirt and blue slacks, sits on a crème sofa against yellow walls, the windows behind him peering into the black. The scene is filtered yellow like a 1990's sitcom.The man looks through the local newspaper. He's bored with the brightly-colored meteorology...

Careful with that morning commute
March 3, 2015
— Imagine crossing a frozen overpass, hearing the ice crackle as you begin to spin out of control. You frantically pump the breaks and crank the steering wheel. But, like death beckoning you, the railing gets closer by the second.Between blurred visions through an icy windshield and panic-induced rushes of adrenaline, you strive to make sense of...

Sweat, high-fives and rock-n-roll
February 24, 2015
— "How many calories do you think is in this?""Have you logged in your work out today?""Man, this one entrée equals 400 burpees!"These were not the quotes I thought I'd hear as I followed the U.S. Air Force premier rock band Max Impact during their trip in support of Super Bowl XLIX. Instead of stereotypical wreckless musicians yelling at the waiting...

An Emotional Machine; A Guardsman's Struggle
November 10, 2014
— Look sharp, but move fluidly. Be crisp in movement, yet smooth in motion. Appear motionless and do not show any emotion (if you can).This is the delicate balance a Joint Base Andrews Air Force base honor guardsman faces.I didn't know what it meant to be a guardsman for most of my life. I would watch movies and television shows growing up and...

"Why would I see the IG?"
September 26, 2014
— "Why would I see the Inspector General?" The simple answer is that you should see the IG to solve any problem that you cannot resolve through your chain of command. We are in the people business. We are here to eliminate problems or concerns that hinder our fellow Airmen from accomplishing their mission.As the 11th Wing IG, the number one question...
