Jacques Martel Email & Phone Number

After graduating from high school, I decided to gain one year of workforce experience before joining the United States Coast Guard. Following that year, I enlisted in the Coast Guard and underwent boot camp. Shortly after, I was selected for a special duty assignment with the USCG Ceremonial Honor Guard.During my time with the Honor Guard, I had the privilege of participating in high-profile events such as the Capital Fourth Concert and the July 4th military parade, representing the Coast Guard in the joint service color guard. I served as a member of the Honor Guard for an impressive 2 years and 4 months.Afterwards, I received orders to attend MK A school, where I gained extensive knowledge required to become a 3rd class petty officer. The training encompassed boat maintenance, facility maintenance management, supervisor skills, leadership training, and other job-related expertise.Following the completion of A school, I received orders to Sector Long Island Sound in the Engineering Support Division. In this role, I gained hands-on experience in various fields including HVAC, diesel and gas engines, as well as operating heavy equipment such as boat haulout trailers, skid steers, tractors, and more. I was recognized for my dedication and received accolades such as the Good Conduct Medal and two Commandant Letters of Commendation, one of which included an operational device. Throughout this time, I accumulated countless hours of technical diagnostics in HVAC, engines, and facilities.Upon an honorable discharge from the military, I transitioned to a new opportunity at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center. Here, I expanded my experience operating heavy equipment, honed my leadership skills, and had the opportunity to work with the public. I dedicated one year to this role before embarking on my current career path with the City of Norwalk as a Park Maintainer 1.These experiences have shaped me into a versatile professional, equipped with valuable skills in heavy equipment operation, maintenance, leadership, and public interaction. I am eager to leverage my background to contribute to new challenges and make a positive impact in my future endeavors.
