Bio

In the on set of my career I served in the Amphibious Navy in the Southeast Asia theater, from there I decided it was a better career move to get into a critical skill set. I pursued the welding profession and became a high pressure plate/pipe welder, which put me in line for repair commands. It took a giant leap when I sought out diversity, for professional growth and Leadership development.
