As I came up through the chairs of the Legion, one of the things I enjoyed was traveling and the opportunity to meet our members and to see their posts and/or hear what they are doing. As my year as Department Commander was coming to a close, I realized that the opportunity would not still be there. I was very happy when I was hired to be the Department Adjutant and to be able to continue to do what I enjoy. I look forward to hearing from our members and am willing to come to your post, county or district for any assistance you may need.
I love The American Legion and believe in the four pillars and our programs and our mission of Veterans Strengthening America!
