How is the transition from being a military installation commander to becoming a city manager? How does the daily approach to this situation impact management of a city? What are the challenges of balancing job and family amid COVID?

We’ll look at how his military experience shaped his decision-making process and how Ashland's comprehensive crisis policies have allowed for the rapid response to the pandemic.
