INTRODUCTION
Young people develop with different values and experiences that shape who they are and contribute to their future as an adult. As they develop from their earliest experiences, they exhibit behaviors that parents characterize as healthy and suitable to prepare them for adulthood and being productive members of society or unhealthy behaviors that need additional attention. Young people in Asia traditionally are immersed in an environment where they individually have pressure to succeed with strong expectations and focused overwatch from their family. This structured and focused environment, has caused most students to become increasingly reliant on technology; while this has allowed them to develop swift means of communication, interpersonal engagement and a sense of teamwork has been sacrificed. Understanding this concerning trend, Victor Education USA was established in December 2018.

introduction to the leaders
Colonel Paul M. Paolozzi, United States Army (Retired)
Colonel Paolozzi leads Victor Commander with vast experience leading American and coalition soldiers, business professionals, volunteer organizations, and students in the Boy Scouts of America. He dedicated his life to the service of others and enjoys the challenge of shaping young adults for a lifetime of growth, learning, and service to others. He had a distinguished career in the United States Army for 30 years that included leading over 4000 soldiers in combat in Afghanistan, developing future officers at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and serving in senior Defense positions. Thereafter he led the communications efforts for the Aerospace and Defense Industry, giving life to the voice of 13% of America’s workforce. Throughout his adult life he has contributed extensively to the development of young adults, from being an accomplished father of two adult children to being a youth leader in athletics, church events, and the Boy Scouts of America.
Command Sergeant Major Daniel Willey, United States Army (Retired)
CSM Willey shares a similar lifetime of service to the United States and others. His United States Army service for over 32 years was followed by his role as a leader for a battalion of cadets in the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets. His exceptional United States Army experience elevated him to the senior Non-Commissioned officer level at senior commands in the United States and in Afghanistan. CSM has been a stalwart investor in the development of professional soldiers, future officers at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and currently serves as a full-time role model and faculty member at one of the United States’ most prestigious universities at Virginia Tech.
A NOTE FROM THE COMMANDER
Challenges make us stronger, and perseverance in the face of challenges develop our character. I am honored to lead Victor Commander with a lifetime of experiences and credentials that I use to design and lead the development of trainees through our programs. My most vivid and permanent positive life lessons were taught by leaders in my family, the United States Army, in business, and in spiritual development where others invested in me. Those leadership lessons were not told to me, they were modeled by leaders who had respected life credentials. Now I can apply my life experience as the leader of Victor Commander to inspire a new generation of leaders. I apply my family business experience, 30 years of service in the United States Army as a combat leader, communications business experience, and experience working with young adults to create and lead a unique experience! I lead with the credentials and physical presence that students crave – they want to see leaders in action! I am with students who take the challenge as trainees every step of the training. I oversee every day of training, I participate in the demanding, challenging, and difficult experiences, and I congratulate the trainees who graduate. In a virtual and fast-paced world, Victor Commander will provide a new experience for students to grow to the next level and learn that “We Never Quit!”
Colonel Paul M. Paolozzi, USA (Ret. )
