I wanted to take a moment and express my gratitude to the team of professionals that I am privelaged to lead and serve with every day at Fort Johnson, LA. What these public servants manage to accomplish daily for the Soldiers, families, civilians and retirees that live, work, and play on this installation is simply amazing. During crisis or bad weather when everyone else goes home, they come to work and do so with a smile on their face and they do it to protect this community and preserve mission readiness. They are simply put, dedicated, caring, and loyal professionals to this nation and Army! Grateful to stand next to them each and every day!
I have been working in the public sector for over 20 years. It is always very gratifying to see the smiles on the community face as I meet the public needs. From managing major construction projects, to explaining the process of a water main breaks or a replacement of sidewalks, it is an honor to to serve. As I begin my new journey with this outstanding community and all the amazing East Lansing staff, I look forward to the positive outlook as a public servant!
