As a former officer in the U.S. Army, I enjoy reading about the success of others who got their start in the military. One such man is Rusty Solomon.

Before beginning his military service, Rusty lacked the discipline and skills necessary to make his way in the world and live a successful life. But once he put on that uniform his life began to change for the better.

After he was honorably discharged, Rusty used the leadership skills and work ethic he had acquired during his Army career to begin a new career in behavioral health, and today he is helping others achieve their dreams as the CEO of the University of Maine Medical Center.
