This is my stand. (based off of the idea of taking a stand in The Way of the SEAL by Mark Divine)

  • When it comes to matters of the head versus the heart, trust my instinct.
  • Be myself – unapologetically.
  • Live life with an open mind. Seek inspiration from even the littlest things.
  • Every decision impacts not only me but those around me. Make the right decision to make this a better place.
  • Command – not demand – respect, honesty, and trust.
  • Constructive criticism – not just that something sucks but why and how to improve it – goes a long way.
  • Rather than lead from an ivory tower or a pulpit, lead from the trenches. Be the servant leader that I know I am.
  • Make this world a better place by using my God-given talents to better serve the good of mankind.
  • Self-happiness is driven by life experiences, not material things. It is driven by love, passion, an insatiable curiosity for life.
