So what I'm passionate about is solving problems that have a societal impact. And when you build a team that shares that passion, you can really bring value to your clients. I'm Mike Miller, Principal at Booz Allen; my career is focused on supporting the various missions of the Department of Energy. People think of the Department of Energy as energy, but those missions span everything from energy research to maintaining the nuclear weapons stockpile. When I came to Booz Allen 25 years ago, I had really been exposed to information technology and other capabilities. And as Booz Allen has evolved over time, I've also evolved in my career. What we're trying to do in this country now with machine learning and AI applies to energy research. It applies to environmental cleanup and accelerating that mission. And frankly, it applies to new areas that we hadn't thought of years ago. The most rewarding thing for me is the evolution of technology in this country. I think it's that science and technological, capability and trying to maintain the U.S. engine that and applying that to all these problems. I think that's the common fabric.
