The intent of this award is to recognize individuals or groups who exhibit this same spirit and who exemplify the wildland fire leadership values and principles.

His work with the newly approved L-380 agency training package provides a set of tools and techniques junior leaders can use to build and maintain cohesive crews or teams.
