Honor Unit with Distinction

Dear Parents/Guardians and JROTC Students,

A little about me -                                                   

My last active duty job for the U.S. Army was as the Professor Of Military Science at Shippensburg University.  I have a undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice from Kutztown University and a Masters degree in Educational Leadership from Mississippi State University.  I recently finished postgraduate work with Cabrini College to assist me in becoming a better educator.                                                                             

Listed below are the values that I believe in and because they are so much apart of me I am certain that I will introduce them to the Cadets of the Patriot battalion on a daily basis.

• If you want people to stand with you, stand by them. (Loyalty) L
• If something needs to be fixed, fix it. (Duty)  D
• If you want to be treated well, treat others well. (Respect) R
• If you need to stay longer to finish something, stay with it. Self-sacrifice before self-indulgence.  (Selfless service) S
• Society holds us (those in uniform) to a higher standard of conduct, and we will meet it.  (Honor) H
• If you must choose between the easy wrong and the hard right, always choose the right. (Integrity)  I
• If you see something is wrong, say something about it.  Don’t be ambiguous or indecisive. (Personal courage)  P
