Kline, currently serving for 24 years, is the Installation Commanding Officer of Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads. It is home to more than 60 tenant commands, employing 24,000 DoD and government employees in six regional bases.

"Serving as the CO is an opportunity to lead sailors and have a positive impact on the warfighting readiness of our sailors and shore installation support to our key headquarters units," said Kline.

Serving in the Navy has helped Kline grow both professionally and personally. When asked what he enjoys most about being in the Navy, Kline said, "The satisfaction of knowing that I contribute every day to the safety and security of our country, and the opportunity to see the world and immerse in other cultures and environments, which provides greater context for how our actions have global impact."

Kline graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 1990 with a Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical Engineering. He is a 2005 University of Tennessee graduate with a Master's of Science in Aviation Systems and graduated from National Defense University in 2013 with a Master's of Science in Campaign Planning Strategy.

Kline is the son of the late Eric Kline and his mother, Suzanne Kline, who resides in Canonsburg.
