I was a freshman in high school on September 11th, 2001. I joined the US Army as soon as I graduated in 2005. I have had a blessed career that began as a combat medic in the 173rd Airborne and is coming to an end as a Special Forces Operations Sergeant at USASOC. 1 marriage, 4 children, 7 combat deployments, 35 countries, and 20 years later, I am excited for the chance to continue to serve others as I transition from the military to the private sector. I have led, taught, and advised conventional and special operations forces across the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, Caribbean Islands, and Europe to face difficult tasks, overcome complex challenges, and achieve results. I have learned from first hand experiences, failures and successes alike. What I have learned from my service is that I strive each day to leave a mark, empowering others to maximize their potential. What this means is that I always dedicate myself to the cause and humbly share my experience, inspiring others to be their best self. I am seeking to leverage the experience and wisdom gained from an accomplished career in Special Forces for the greater good in the private sector.
