A Bit About Me: Cadet Baker

From 1995 until 2001 all I ever thought about was life as an officer in the United States military. To this day I feel the call to serve tug at the very marrow of my bones. It’s almost an annual ritual for me to contemplate, research and contact the National Guard to see if they’d have a place for me. I think those days are over, and I must continually make my peace with that.

While I am no longer obsessed with military life, those lessons and perspectives color the lense with which I view the world. Anyone who has worked with me knows that I love to communicate using analogies, and military analogies are one of my favorites.
