No matter what it is or what I'm going through; if someone tells me they are having a bad day, I'll put on my happy face and do everything I can to make them smile. That's just how I am."

It may not be the 4th anymore, but we’re still making some noise for our country! Heads up, MDL -- starting FRIDAY JULY 13 and continuing through WEDNESDAY JULY 18, expect to hear some sounds from the mortar training on the ranges. We’ve got a loud few days ahead of us! Please keep in mind that cloudy or overcast weather can amplify the booms and the noise can travel further. We know that the sounds can be hard on four-legged family members. Check out our MDL Minute for some tips and tricks that could help them out this weekend! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8-QddfR7v4 We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to train America's fighting force!

#HumansofMDL "I love helping people. I've been told that things that I've done in the past are goals for a lot of people. When I was told this, I froze and thought 'Maybe I could get into this.' I didn't know people looked up to me like that. Because of that I started my podcast to provide life-coaching in hopes that everything I say or what I've done can help at least one person get over whatever they may be going through."
