SP+ Military Spotlight
Meet Rich, who says, " I joined the military because college wasn’t for me then. However, after my service, I did go to college. I chose the USMC because I wanted to challenge myself. During my service, I visited Cuba, Spain, France, Italy, Israel, Turkey, and Morocco. Cuba was the most interesting and unique place. Half my family is from Northern Spain and still lives there, so I often visit and love it there.
The most rewarding experience about my service is the brothers I’ve served alongside. I remain in touch and see many of them to this day.
I use a lot of USMC Disciplines in my current role at SP+. Training, discipline, honor, redundancy, more training, attracting the best, molding staff, and leadership by example. We heard this in the USMC, Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome. It takes planning and patience, and this has been the most challenging and rewarding part of being with SP+ and utilizing all those skill sets. This is the first time I have been with any other company that has backed me and given me the support that the following individuals have, Rick Kreiter, Dan Murray, and Steve Witte. I would follow them anywhere, along with outstanding corporate support and individuals."
