Personal Statement
One thing that I think would be infinitely fascinating is to take a trip to Memphis and spend the night at the FedEx facility there, watching as hundreds of airplanes come in from all over the world, disgorge millions of packages, and within a few hours are loaded up again to return to their destinations. I have always had an interest in that company, and not just because Fred Smith is a retired Marine, the same as I am. I have always had a great interest in logistics, the art and science of getting goods from one place to another, when you need them to be there. While the FedEx operations in Memphis would have tremendous visual appeal, I am equally impressed with the logistics technology employed by Wal-Mart, and by the ability of the resource sector to get heavy equipment to the most remote and inhospitable places on earth, and then get minerals and fuel from those places to market.
I was first exposed to logistics in a serious way in the Marines. There, I learned quickly that the logistics are essential to the mission, and indeed to survival. Getting the supplies and weapons anywhere in the world -- Afghanistan, Iraq, you name it -- is a matter of life and death for the Marines on the ground, so having efficient, error-free logistics systems has become something of a military specialty. Most of my work was in that field, and I put together quite a few years' worth of experience. I learned a lot in that time, about having systems in place ahead of time, about materials requirements, and about building out effective transportation networks quickly.
It is my desire to take this experience in logistics to the private sector, and for that I need an MBA to bring me up to speed with the latest in industry best practices. I bring to the program years of experience and a solid base in the core concepts, all of which I can share to make the program better. I have some good stories. But I do need to upgrade some of my conceptual knowledge, and gain...

To be surrounded by a growing network of highly motivated, curious, and ambitious peers in the LBS MBA program is the goal foremost on my list.

Talents aren't things developed. One is born with talent -- a natural propensity for accuracy and efficiency in particular tasks. A knack for a certain intellectual task. Skills, on the other hand, are things learned, practiced, and known; they're the result of schooling, training, and experience. I believe that skills can be thought of, in a sense, as the theory behind reality. In other words, skills are most appropriately consolidated
