Dash Ballarta

Dash Ballarta joins us from Pflugerville, TX to talk about his memories from his academic adventures to his sailing club experiences. Reflecting on lessons from the cadet days, he underscores the importance of simply being a good person throughout life. Dash recalls his career journey since leaving active-duty, which led him to his current role with the Texas A&M Health Science Center. We discuss the topic of resilience through personal stories he shares, before moving to more recent passion projects (including a brief Warhammer 40,000 shoutout). Dash responds to the question on how have your personal relationships evolved since West Point. In line with the theme for how this podcast first got its start, he asks others to imagine what our connections look like after the twenty year reunion.
