  • My first 100+ days

    Greetings Airmen, It is hard to believe we just passed my first 100+ days as your Wing Command Chief! As COVID-19 challenges persist, we will continue to forge through this pandemic together, as a team. Unfortunately, we were unable to have a Change of Authority ceremony, and I believe now is a

  • Keep it simple

    few months ago, I had a meeting with Chief Horay. It was about a mentoring program that I had tried to start and it didn’t work as I had intended.
