Currently, Colonel Morgan serves as the Joint Base Commander of Joint Base Lewis McChord in the State of Washington, where he delivers installation support and services to enable the readiness of joint Army and Air Force operational forces. He has served in Vicenza, Italy, as part of the 3-325th Airborne Battalion Combat Team (ABCT), which is NATO’s spearhead rapid reaction force for Europe and Africa.

During this period of 1998–2001, he participated in Executive Office of the President, interagency, and legislative policymaking activities. His duties included extensive domestic and foreign travel in support of the United States National Drug Control Strategy. Under President Bill Clinton’s administration, he engaged at the highest levels of service in the government of the United States and with foreign governments ranging from Colombia to China.

Upon completion of his White House service, Colonel Morgan returned to active duty and was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) in 2001 through 2011.

His favorite books that shape his leadership and always near him are Doris Kearns Goodwin’s Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of President Lincoln, Ulysses Grant’s Memoirs, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave, and Viktor Frankl’s Pursuit of Meaning.
