Employee of the year for 2016.

Designed, programmed, and fabricated custom residential home theater and home automation installations. Job responsibilities from mounting stand alone flat panel televisions on the wall, to $250,000+ whole house automation, structured wiring, WAN/LAN networks, and dedicated home theater rooms with seating, acoustic treatment, and A/V calibration. Custom fabrication was always a constant demand no matter how straight forward the job seemed on the surface. The position really started to hone my handyman skills and my understanding of electrical theory and integrated circuits as well as how to practically manipulate them to logically isolate and troubleshoot complex or dynamic symptoms.

Pool supervisor and head lifeguard of the indoor pool for local YMCA. I also helped regularly by volunteering to assist teaching the children's lessons (teaching children to love the water is a passion). While this was a great deal of responsibility for a 16 year old, I thrived in such a pragmatic setting. This position without a doubt served as a start to dealing with leadership and on the spot decision making. I also believe it honed both my empathy and compassion for individuals as well as my dedication to physical fitness. / Spent an additional year life guarding on Pensacola Beach.
