About Jon Bridgham

I grew up in rural Maine and have a love for the outdoors. When I graduated from high school, I knew that college life was not something that I was interested in and for that reason I enlisted into the United States Army. Soon after I enlisted my world changed because of the attacks on the World Trade Centers in New York, City. This event changed how I looked at the world as a young man, and I knew that I was only part of something greater and I wanted to be a part of it. It was then that I knew I would be a career Soldier and I would work to make the world a better place. In my 24-year career the people I have met along the way have had an everlasting effect on who I am today. I have learned to work hard and grind every day, enjoy what I do and I know not every day is guaranteed. I have built an immense amount of confidence and competence in myself that I use daily in my personal life and my professional life. Due to my extroverted nature, I love to engage with others, especially when I am in a group of people exchanging ideas, opinions, stories, or telling elbow jabbing jokes. I get energized working with individuals that have different backgrounds, cultures, and talents because it teaches me how people are different but also shows me how everyone has a common ground. My drive to excel as an individual gives me little difficulty to complete projects, problems, or opportunities because they grab my attention and energize me. My yearn for learning leads me to learn things that most do not understand. As a Soldier I have had the opportunity to be part of a team, and on teams I always have been able to pinpoint characteristics of others to accomplish tasks by identifying their talents, special interests and work styles. This has allowed me to manage and put the right people where they need to be in order to accomplish projects.
