In this episode of the Workforce Connections Podcast, we welcome Brigadier General Lawrence T. Sullivan, Commander of the 57th Wing at Nellis Air Force Base. Born in Ontario, Canada, and raised across several Midwestern states before graduating high school in Boston, General Sullivan went on to the U.S. Air Force Academy, where he began as a biochemistry major before choosing the pilot track. His career has spanned assignments in Korea, Japan, and Alaska, culminating in his current leadership of the 57th Wing in Southern Nevada.General Sullivan describes Nellis as a self-contained city, with its own security, engineering, logistics, IT, and medical units, alongside the Air Force’s most advanced fighter training operations. He emphasizes the importance of community engagement, serving as a Vegas Chamber trustee and supporting programs like the Honorary Commander Program and the Chamber’s MAC Night Out, which honor service members and connect airmen with local leaders. The conversation also highlights public events like the Nellis Air Show, which regularly welcomes thousands of community members onto the base to see airmen in action and learn about the latest in air power.Outside of duty, General Sullivan is a husband and father of three, balancing a dual-military household with his wife, who serves in the Air Force Reserve. He advises young people to focus on character, resilience, and continuous learning, stressing the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people and embracing opportunities for growth.Nellis Air Force Base <a href='https://www.nellis.af.mil/'>https://www.nellis.af.mil/</a>U.S. Air Force: <a href='https://www.af.mil/?utm_source=chatgpt.com'>https://www.af.mil/</a>57th Wing Fact Sheet <a href='https://www.nellis.af.mil/About/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/284155/57th-wing/?utm_source=chatgpt.com'>https://www.nellis.af.mil/About/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/284155/57th-wing/</a>Vegas Chamber – MAC Night Out: <a href='https://vegaschamber.com/events-programs/mac-night-out/'>https://vegaschamber.com/events-programs/mac-night-out/</a>
