Captain Frank Futcher went from joining the Navy as a way to pay for college and continued to serve because of the multitude of experiences he was exposed to through the Navy. Frank shares about the 60+ countries he has gotten to see through his travels while a Supply Officer in the Navy. Over the years Frank has cultivated his love of wine and found his wine education can help him explore the world through a different lens. Frank shares a little about how in today\\u2019s military there are more expectations from every sailor and Marine from the ground level up. As the second director of NavalX, Frank has seen his role as providing the top cover for the organization to try and to change the culture that is the traditional military and government. NavalX is meant to grow the culture in a different form by cultivating inclusivity and diversity of thought and oftentimes folks don\\u2019t understand something that is new and different. Frank brags about his spreadsheet skills but when it comes down to it, the people are the only things that matter in the end."
