​Lt Mat Sweeny was a U.S Air Force Pilot during the Iraq conflict. Out of 80 people that signed up only 22 people made it. He was one of them. In his own words: ‘’...we started with 80 and ended up with 22. I was one of those 22... with my weakness in math and science- and almost all of this is math and science- I was able to work through that but not by myself.’’ He is a big believer in studying and learning to accomplish your goals and putting your natural gifts and abilities to work. He said, ‘’put your gifts to good use. I’m convinced you cannot be happy or content in life unless you are being of service to other people. When you learn to be of service to others, I don’t think there is anything you cannot do.’’
