โFrom my service in Korea (on three separate occasions), I learned in an environment filled with strict standards, deep traditions, and an unmatched culture of generosity and humility.

My first experience in Korea was as a senior First Lieutenant/junior Captain.ย This assignment to Korea was my first tour overseas and exposed me to different traditions and cultures.ย I trained alongside the Republic of Korea (ROK) Army on numerous exercises at the tactical point of contact learning the value of communication and teamwork.ย I also learned to work with a coalition partner with differences that ranged from language to tactics.

My second tour was as a Lieutenant Colonel, Battalion Commander.ย Korea had transformed since my last tour but the ROK Army and the generous Korean culture had not.ย The ROK leadership that I had trained with a decade earlier was just as fit, experienced, and disciplined as U.S. Army Soldiers they trained with.

My last tour was as the C/J4 at the rank of Brigadier General.ย This was an extraordinary time in both the United States and Koreaโs history.ย I am particularly proud of the C/J4 staffโs role in meeting the increasingly demanding needs of logistics operations in Korea for both real-world operations and exercises.ย My tour as the C/J4 served as a culminating event where I used the training, experience, and knowledge gained working with my Korean partners to achieve monumental success across the Korean Peninsula.
