Inspired by: I am inspired by the hard work of generations of innovators such as Michael Faraday, Thomas Edison, and Robert Goddard. The individuals who risk life and limb to push the envelope, such as Chuck Yeager, Neil Armstrong, and John Glenn inspire me daily. Finally, the heroes who namelessly serve our country on the front lines every day, inspire me to give my all in service to this Great Nation as a citizen and as a sailor.
