Personality Profile
What character strength do you value the most and why?
I value gratitude the most because it helps me stay grounded, appreciate the present, and find meaning even in life’s challenges! It strengthens my mindset, relationships, and resilience. Gratitude is one of the most powerful tools for my personal and social well-being!
How do your top character strengths support your work at TMF?
My top character strengths–kindness, gratitude, and fairness–deeply support my leadership at the Travis Manion Foundation by helping me lead with empathy, integrity, and purpose. Kindness allows me to build strong, compassionate relationships; gratitude keeps me grounded in appreciation for the mission and those we serve; and fairness ensures I lead with respect and equity. Together, these strengths help create a positive, values-driven environment that reflects that Foundation’s commitment to character and service.
What do you enjoy most about working with veterans, survivors, and inspired civilians?
I deeply enjoy working with veterans, survivors, and inspired civilians because it allows me to connect with individuals who embody resilience, service, and purpose. Their strength and stories are incredibly motivating, and I feel honored to support their continued impact in their communities. My grandfather, who served in the U.S. Army and was a guiding light in my family, showed me from a young age how service shapes character. His dedication to both his military service and long career in retail taught me the value of hard work, integrity, and putting others first–-values I now see reflected in the people I work with every day.
