Since arriving in 2009, Col. David Mollahan has transformed Marion Military Institute in Perry County into a hub of opportunity for cadets pursuing both military and civilian careers.

The retired Marine Corps helicopter pilot, who logged more than 4,000 flight hours during his 30-year service, brought lessons from the U.S. Naval Academy to Alabama’s Black Belt.

During his tenure, MMI’s facilities have seen dramatic upgrades with state and federal funding.

Mollahan is featured in this segment of Voices & Visionaries of the Black Belt.
