Meet Our Team

DION COMBS
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
FOUNDER

I began my military career in 1989 when I joined the United States Air Force. During my tenure, I served in various roles, including Combat Flight Medic, Military Training Instructor, and Flight Medic Instructor. In 2008, I transitioned to the United States Army, where I continued my service as a Food Service Manager and Drill Sergeant. I retired from active duty in December 2013 after a distinguished career.​

In August 2023, Harvest Christian Academy in New Castle, Delaware, became the first non-public school in the state to offer a Military Leadership Program under my guidance. As the Senior Instructor, I have been instrumental in establishing this groundbreaking initiative, which provides students with valuable leadership skills and discipline.

In February 2024, I founded Drill 4 Success Inc., a program dedicated to helping young individuals develop structure and life skills through the Military Leadership Program. My extensive experience in training and leading airmen and soldiers—both on and off the battlefield—equips me with the knowledge and expertise to mentor young men and women as they navigate the paths of higher education, military service, careers, and life in general. My commitment to empowering the next generation is a testament to my dedication to their growth and success.
