As a spotlight performer, individuals are chosen by leadership for demonstrating one or more of the 22nd ARW commander's intents: Foster a culture of excellence ... Develop the next generation of leaders ... Set and achieve goals.

Matt Mohon, 22nd Contracting Squadron procurement technician, was named the spotlight performer for the 22nd Air Refueling Wing for the week of March 26 to 30, 2012. Mohon has been a civilian employee at McConnell for one year. Prior to becoming a procurement technician, he was an active duty crew chief for four years with the 22nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron. The Houston, Texas, native enjoys exercising, reading and volunteering.

Mohon has demonstrated all three intents through various actions at the 22nd CONS to include gaining the best understanding of assigned tasks by asking thorough questions, sharing knowledge with squadron personnel to ensure maximum retention, and progressing through a Master's of Business Administration.

"Matt provides consistent, quality customer service," said Maj. Amy Harshner, 22nd CONS commander.

Who is the most positive influence in your life and why?
My stepdad is the most influential person in my life because he took it upon himself to raise two children that weren't his, and he showed me the value of discipline and hard work.

What would you like to accomplish during your Air Force career?
I would like to continue to perpetuate the ethical standards associated with members of the armed forces community and to leave a solid legacy in which people truly valued my commitment.

Where is the most interesting place you have traveled and why do you feel that way?
The most interesting place I've been is San Jose, Costa Rica. It made me realize how fortunate I am to be born a United States citizen and to have the quality of life I currently enjoy.

What is your favorite book/ movie and why?
The Bible is my favorite book because it contains fundamental principles on how to conduct your life and it gives me the peace of mind that all people, regardless of their situation or ideology, can always appeal to God and ask for forgiveness.

If you have the opportunity to meet anyone in the world, who would it be and why?
If I had the opportunity to meet anyone in the world, it would be Warren Buffett. He could help me formulate a conservative investment strategy.
