Our final November salute to military service veterans in the equipment finance industry. Thank you to all who participated, and thank you for your service, Triston McConnell. Triston McConnell – Support Specialist - LTi Technology Solutions: “During my six years in the Air Force, I had the privilege of working alongside Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers, and Marines from across the country and around the globe. As an 18-year-old in basic training, I bunked next to a man earning his U.S. citizenship after moving from Ghana. In technical training school, I sat alongside an Egyptian medical doctor who was enlisting as a U.S. Sailor to gain his citizenship and pursue a surgical career in the United States. These experiences of collaborating with individuals from diverse backgrounds, nationalities, and cultures have profoundly prepared me for engaging with customers across the United States and Canada in my career in equipment finance.”

Today, we continue our November series of honoring military service veterans working in the equipment finance industry. On behalf of the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association and ELFA Equity, thank you for your service, Marty! Marty Timberlake – LTi Technology Solutions - Systems Engineer: "I spent 20 years in the Nebraska Army National Guard. During my time in the military, I wore many hats. Communication systems, transportation, administrative, back to communications and other duties as assigned. I did two tours in Iraq transporting everything from weapons and ammo to bubble wrap to military camps across the country. My third tour overseas was Afghanistan. There I was in charge of all the communication systems for one of the detention centers. This included close circuit cameras, networking for both Secret and FOUO systems, POTS phone systems and secure radio systems. Each of these deployments created different challenges that had to be overcome. I worked closely with my teams to improve their knowledge and skillsets. It allowed me to also learn how to work with, manage my teams, and understand how to work with different personalities. These are traits and lessons that I brought home with me and use in my daily life." #EquipmentFinance #ELFA #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans #NEGuard #GoBigRed

Today, we continue our series recognizing military service veterans in the equipment finance industry. On behalf of the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association and ELFA Equity, thank you for your service, Frank! Frank DeLira - Senior Software Engineer - LTi Technology Solutions: “When I began my military service at the age of 18, the Marine Corps taught me computer programming. Which in turn, gave me a career. While in, I wrote accounting, embarkation, and property management applications. Additionally, the Corps instilled a level of confidence, that no task was too great." #EquipmentFinance #ELFA #VeteransDay

Happy Veteran’s Day! Today, we continue our series recognizing military service veterans in the equipment finance industry. On behalf of the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association and ELFA Equity, thank you for your service Harmony Oswald! “My time serving active duty in the U.S. Army First Infantry Division as a soldier and broadcast journalist overseas (46R - Go Army, Hooah!) instilled in me lifelong leadership skills, a broad world view, confidence, and true grit. High caliber military training in simulated combat scenarios distinguishes veterans with unparalleled skills and prepares them to handle any business matter with calm, clarity, decisiveness, resilience, teamwork, and honorable character. As the founder & CEO of legalucy, the #1 pre-lawyer legal platform on the market, I am proud to have enlisted and served this great nation. God bless the USA!” #ELFA #VeteransDay #EquipmentFinance

Happy Election Day! Throughout the month of November, we’re recognizing military service veterans in the equipment finance industry. Today, we continue our series with Vince Drobniak, Chief Risk Officer at Northland Capital Equipment Finance. Vince, on behalf of the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association, we thank you for your service! Vince Drobniak – United States Marine Corp, Vietnam Era: "The Marines have shaped my leasing career by being disciplined, detailed, an early riser, realizing the true meaning of teamwork & trust, to view the big picture, understand the project and never sweat the small things.   It was an honor to work with the other military services and many government agencies in being assigned to special missions, travelling the world, learning new cultures, and completing assignments. While not publicized, these missions are instrumental in protecting the US and making the world a safer place. Thanks to all that have served in the capacity they were assigned and to the many who died being a soldier. Please do not forget those individuals and their families who continue today living with the physical and mental residuals of serving. Getting discharged does not end the trauma and pain." #ELFA #VeteransDay

Kevin, on behalf of the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association, we thank you for your service! Kevin Truitt – VP, Client Success: “My time in the United States Air Force played a big part to shape me into who I am today, both as a person and as a professional in the Equipment Finance Industry. Discipline, attention to detail, process, commitment, and solving problems as a team are some things that come to mind when I think back on what I gained from my time serving this great country and our allies. I also gained an even deeper appreciation for those who made the ultimate sacrifice in giving their lives for all of us so we can enjoy our freedoms and have the opportunity for success in all we do, personally and professionally.” #ELFA #VeteransDay
