A Retired Army Officer, my military career spanned 24 1\/2 years, where I served in a variety of positions as an Airborne Infantry and Attack and Cavalry Aviation Officer. I had the privilege of leading five platoons and commanding two companies, as well as an ROTC battalion. Additionally, I taught at the Aviation Captain&#8217;s Career Course, the United States Military Academy (West Point), and Indiana University (Bloomington).<\/p>\n<p>Always a Soldier, I&#8217;ve spent my entire life inquiring about leadership and learning.
