I joined the Army straight out of high school. I was a Petroleum Supply Specialist. My responsibilities included providing fuel for our units activities. I served 4 years active duty and one in the guards before being done. During that time I obtained the rank of Sergeant (E5).

I am grateful for the time I was able to serve my country and the foundation it laid in my personal & professional development.
