LE II - Lesson Plan

I have served in the Marine Corps for over 20 years and saw many challenges as a leader. I was the Marine Corps Exercise Officer and Planner for most military activities in Asia.  I have worked extensively with law enforcement conducting counter-drug operations with Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATFS). In my last assignment, I taught and served as an Instructor and Company Commander at the Basic School (TBS).  TBS is a premier Department of Defense school where we train and educate newly commissioned Officers in the high standards of professional knowledge, esprit de corps, and leadership to prepare them for duty as U.S. Marine Officers. The critical traits for success for young officers and JROTC are being goal-oriented, committed to excellence, applying critical thinking, and being very decisive in actions.  

“I knew after the Marine Corps I wanted to go back to the high school...I like to share my stories with high school kids. I hope my stories inspire them to go out and get their own stories. “
