Q: What does your call sign mean to you?
A: To me my call sign means to stay true to the core of tirelessly pushing forward for what is right. Silent professionalism plays a big part in this and I feel it is better to see the end results. Not the person behind it.
Q: What branch of the military did you serve in (or are currently serving in), for how long, and what was your job?
A: I served in the US Navy from 1993-2005 as an nuclear field enlisted submariner and 2005-2007 as a Nuclear Officer .
Q: What is your best or most unforgettable OEW-related memory? A: Indoc. The bonds forged through that exercise will be lifelong. The character established, unforgettable.
Q: What is the best thing about being a MAT? A: The best thing about being a MAT is the sense of self accomplishment you aid in establishing in a person who didn’t realize they were capable of greatness. You help people find their inner awesome without them realizing you were there to mentor and foster that trait.
Q: What piece of advice would you give someone who is interested in becoming a MAT?
A: The best piece of advice I can give someone wanting to become a MAT is..... it’s not about you. The less you are seen and heard the better. Mission over self.
Q: What is your daily contribution to OEW operations?
A: I serve as an officer and my department is a full-time animal. Our goal has always been to continue to grow and create a diverse range of active recovery tools to be able to help the greatest amount of people.
Q: Motto or principle you live by. A: I have three mottos I live by:
A. Live beyond limits
B. Live out loud
C. Go, Be, Do
Q: How do you stay in shape for the demands of the MAT? A: There’s is no secret. Just be active. Don’t be a slug. I can still run sub 6-minute miles or go Adventure for 100 miles. The only way to keep that possible is to never stop moving.
