i'm an active duty army officer, current mba candidate at harvard business school and will return to west point in 2015 for a 2-year teaching fellowship in the department of social sciences. i live with my wife, chrissy, in cambridge (and we’re expecting a new member to our family in september). after graduating from west point in 2006, i attended the army's flight school and was qualified in the blackhawk helicopter. after flight school, i deployed twice with the 101st airborne division. whether leading a company of soldiers during a deployment to afghanistan or leading an aircrew during a blackhawk helicopter combat mission, i’ve found that successful leadership often means trusting, empowering and developing the people around me. that realization is what brought me to hbs and what makes the idea of teaching and mentoring cadets at west point so fulfilling. serving on the board of advisors with the lihc would match with these passions towards leadership development. i currently serve as a vp for admission for the armed forces alumni association at hbs, as a planning officer for the harvard veterans alumni organization and as a member of the social enterprise club.
