My Take
Mark Welsh commands genuine respect from me. Rising to four-star general in the United States Air Force, decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal, then pivoting to become the 27th president of Texas A&M University and a Northrop Grumman board member, that is a range of leadership most people never approach. The San Antonio native clearly pairs hard-won operational nerve with real intellectual seriousness. What moves me most is the trajectory itself, from flying missions to shaping young minds in a school of government. Turning a life of risk into mentorship is, to my mind, the most worthwhile second act of all.
