Defenders Gateway Episode 15

From one patriot to another…the Defenders Gateway podcast with Ray Tuggle is designed to give active military, veterans and first responders a voice to tell their stories about how they’ve answered their nation’s call, and to share how they are making an impact on their families, community and nation.

My name is David Satchell. You can call me Satch. I am a passionate leader, manager, follower, and professional from Omaha, Nebraska. After graduating from Bellevue Christian Academy, I went on to serve 30 years in the United States Air Force. I navigated up the ranks to the position of Command Chief Master Sergeant, a position reserved for only the top 0.3 percent of the enlisted force of over 640,000 Airmen. While serving, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Sociology and followed that with my Masters degree in Human Resource Management. Shortly after my retirement, I accepted an offer to be an Operations Manager with Amazon, leading a diverse group of technical experts and hundreds of employees to deliver for the fastest moving company in the world. I had risen to lead the best-performing teams multiple times. I attribute this to my ability to forge strong relationships, create a trusting environment, and lead solely by personality, character, courage, and collaboration, which are the influential powers to generate discretionary effort beyond what metrics can predict.

I am a published author and regular blogger on all topics regarding leadership. I am ready to offer my support to help you build a strong team and a high-performance culture.
