Well, since- since coming home it really, I- I think my priorities have shaped some
of my career decisions, you know. For better or worse my desire to have time with my family
affected my decision to come off active duty and, uhm, pursue a civilian job. Not only
is it a civilian job, but it’s a civilian job that doesn’t require a lot of hours
in the evening and, uhh, I get home from work and I drop on the floor and play with kids
‘til they go to bed and then, uhh, I spend time with my wife.
So I think it really dramatically affected my career choices and, and how I’ve kind
of lived since coming home. Uhm, so the way that I’ve balanced is to basically structure
the day-to-day life that helps me live out my priorities and, uhm, you know, have my
weekends to- to get to, uhh, to church and spend time with my family and- and- and still
have a meaningful career.
