Philosophy

• Do the right thing at the right time for the right reason.
• Leaders take care of people and people take care of mission.
• Maintain a balance in your life - family, work, recreation, and faith.
• The virtues of character I strive to emulate - patience, strength, and understanding.
• Seek to improve, both, the team and individual continually.
• Act now, seek forgiveness later.
• Team and community first, individual second.
• Team players play their position better than anyone else, support the other members of the team as best they can, but don't try to play someone else's position.
