It is an honor and a privilege to serve with the Savannah District. It has a distinguished reputation of excellence at all levels. At the same time, I bring certain expectations with me as the new commander. The key principles I have followed over the years focus on precision performance, responsive power and agility, smooth operation, time-honored workmanship, and ensuring a meaningful experience for the customer. These are by no means all inclusive or in any specific order; however, they are some of the characteristics of great organizations.
