Through the Fog

erik westmoreland - founder

A little over two decades ago, inspired by Robin Williams and the desire to travel, I enlisted in the United States Air Force as a broadcast journalist. In war zones and across Europe I reported news stories ranging from geopolitical changes impacting our troops to which Girl Scout cookie tastes best. At my first station, my mentor taught me a simple motto, no matter the story, the goal was to help people “through the fog.” Every story has a hidden truth and our job was to make it visible. That advice carried me through my military career, where I was fortunate to hold positions in intelligence, defense acquisition, research and development, strategic analysis, and workforce development. No matter the project or mission, my objective was to support an understanding of the fundamental elements of the problem or objective and find simple solutions to achieve success.

After retiring from active duty I was lucky to meet an amazing group of individuals with the same desire to reach to the heart of information. 2Seventy Consulting has gathered story-tellers, researchers, designers, and innovators to help organizations
