After graduating from the Virginia Military Institute, I served for more than three and a half years as a combat arms officer, with experience in counter-insurgency, information operations, and logistics having been responsible for transporting a Battalion of soldiers and equipment from Ft Drum, NY, to Iraq and back. While deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom I acted as the Information Operations Officer for my Battalion, and I worked in the plans and operations office. I also performed as an assistant project manager responsible for overseeing multiple contracts and was personally responsible for distributing more than $1.5 million in support of construction projects.My goals are to work with Department of Defense contracts and eventually take a senior project manager position overseeing multiple projects responsible for providing essential services and/or equipment to the men and women of the United States military.
