"...I wanted to help people."

I studied psychology in college because I wanted to help people. I joined the Army because I needed the money to realize that dream, or so I thought.  After graduating college, the Army took me to places I didn’t want to be and some places I never wanted to leave.  During that time I applied what I had learned in college and surprisingly enough, it wasn’t weapons that liberated Kuwait, or equipment that rebuilt Bosnia, it was soldiers.  People just like you and me.  Extraordinary individuals who through design were made to look alike.  Despite the sea of camouflage I learned to look deeper, listen more intently, and connect with people by taking the time to get to know them from the inside out.
