My name is Mitchell Rider, and I am currently transitioning from active duty military service back to civilian life. I would describe myself as a person with high moral values and integrity. I am a lifelong learner and take great pride in education and training.From the age of 10, I have loved traveling and being overseas. Due to my father serving in the Army, I had the opportunity to live overseas and learn the local cultures by spending time with the locals and learning their culture. I gained experience that will never be matched in any other setting.I started my career in Architecture and Engineering obtaining a Bachelors of Design, Masters in Facilities Management and Doctors of Podiatric Medicine. I have worked in many jobs within these careers, which have taken me to different countries. Most recently as a Naval Officer and podiatrist in the medical service corp I had the opportunity to live overseas for the 3rd time. This position required moving to Okinawa, Japan. While in Okinawa I was responsible for many employees to include local nationals. Working with local nationals helped me gain a better understanding of how cultures and traditions play a big role in creating a cohesive team environment and successful working environment.During my various positions overseas with government organizations I was required to maintain security clearances at the top level. I was responsible for the safety of my enlisted members and coordinating their travels to meet the requirements and rules set forth by the command and US government. This required me not only to keep up with travel requirements of the state department but the requirements of the US Navy.I have lived overseas multiple times in my life and while there I have worked with local schools and organizations to help build relations with local nationals while also representing the United States by sharing our cultures and being a good ambassador. During my most recent work overseas, I was an attending to the Japanese medical fellow program.
