After completing active duty service for the U.S. Military and returning home, the transition back to civilian life became more difficult than I imagined. Knowing Dr. Benjamin Andrew for such a long time and having served with him as well, I began to just watch his own personal transition and growth. I stopped making excuses and just kept moving forward. From being a high school dropout to near completion of an MBA, he’s definitely one of the main people in my life so far that have inspired, motivated and mentored me along this journey.   -Donovan Mejia , Chatsworth, California
