“I spent seven years on active duty in the Marine Corps as an Intelligence Officer and deployed on multiple occasions to locations such as Afghanistan and Qatar. During my time in the military I led and managed over 200 Marines from a variety of diverse cultural backgrounds. Additionally, while abroad, I worked with many different nationalities, to include the British, Australians, Kiwis, Germans, French, Belgians, Dutch, Danish, Afghans, and the Saudis just to name a few. Currently, I work for a small financial technology company in West Hollywood and still serve in the Marine Corps Reserves.”

“I commanded units of up to 85 Marines and Sailors on two deployments and seeing what a group of mostly 18 to 22 year-olds can do when you set high expectations and give them the resources to succeed is truly amazing. Having to work with people in the Marines from every part of the country with extremely diverse backgrounds in highly stressful and often austere environments prepared me for the demands of business school and greatly contributed to my success at Anderson. The lessons I learned in the Marines will stick with me through the rest of my life.”

“My time in the service was the most fulfilling time of my professional career. When I was deployed, missing home, or questioning why I would volunteer for such a thing, I always fell back on the pride of service to the country and our way of life. Now I am blessed as a public servant in a civilian capacity as a federal contractor for the Department of Homeland Security. I have put the learnings gained in the program to work immediately in my professional life and am very thankful to be a part of the Anderson legacy.”
