Retired US Army Airborne Veteran. Proudly served for 21 years. Enjoyed a long and prosperous career as a Medical Laboratory Technician in military, civilian, and private laboratories for over 31 years. Developed a keen understanding on numerous laboratory instrumentation during those years and decided to branch out into a new career field. At 51 years young, I went back to college and earned an AAS in Electrical Trades and directly after that an AAS in Biomedical Engineering Technology. I look forward to combining all these disciplines together and becoming a true professional in this field. I hope to gain new perspectives, key networking contacts to enhance my career development and growth through mentorship and any advice from accomplished individuals in the BMET/HTM field.
