Hi! I go by Wale "Bumaye" Lawal. I am currently a Captain in the Air Force working as a Materials Engineer for the Air Force Research Lab and spend most of my free time....aside from hanging with my wife and going to church....speaking to youth and young adults in middle school, high school, and college as well as other adults past college where I motivate and teach them to be successful and strong leaders that live in their greatness. I graduated from the US Air Force Academy with a BS in Materials Science. While pursuing one of the hardest degrees at the Academy I played Division 1 Football, and competed Nationally in the collegiate heavyweight boxing weight class where I won 2 National Boxing Titles. After my Bachelors I received a National Scholarship to pursue my Masters and then Ph.D. at Rice University in Materials Science and Engineering. All these accomplishments were both the age of 26, and when I look back at my previous success it motivates me to give forward and show future generations how to strive for greatness and uses leadership and success principles to do so!
