Dr. Vince Patton served as the Eighth Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard for more than 30 years until his retirement in 2002. He was the principal advisor to the Commandant of the Coast Guard, his directorates, and the secretaries of Transportation and Defense. Dr. Patton’s primary focuses were on quality of life, career development, work environment, and personnel matters. The best way to describe his job is that he was a cheerleader, a consultant, an advisor, and a chaplain, and heard all kinds of things from people in terms of what was needed in the service. This experience helped Dr. Patton develop his core values centered on people, passion, and performance.  Join us to learn how to be better, do better, and excel in order to mentor other people to be the best they can be.
