Candidacy Statement
While picturesque and backed by the full strength of our great country, it’s the Alumni, cadets and community that make our Air Force Academy a national treasure. Alumni from all walks of life are leaders in their community, the military, government, academia, and industry. I have met Alumni from every class over the years and have been impressed with every story. They constantly reminded me that each USAFA graduate is superb individually, and we’re even better together. United in our core values, experiences and sacrifices, we are a force for good here in the USA and around the world. As a member of your AOG Board of Directors, I look forward to serving all graduates with the goal of strengthening the Long Blue Line through meaningful engagement and support for all Alumni while in uniform and beyond.
