Bio

QUALIFICATIONS HIGHLIGHTS • 21 Yrs Logistics Experience (Top 3% of Enlisted) • 16 Years Leadership Roles • 8 Years Management Roles • 5 Years Strategic Leadership/Management Levels (Combatant and Major Command) • Establishing & Implementing Policies • Employee Feedback and Staff Review • Planning, Scheduling, and Prioritizing Workload • Air Force Smart Operations LSS Green Belt - CPI Facebook Group created for Port Dawgs by Port Dawgs. It is a closed support group for Aerial Porters diagnosed with PTSD. I created this group because of the difficulties discussing PTSD in large/open forum groups. The idea is to be able to discuss PTSD symptoms/issues with people who more easily understand how and why. We are not professionals but are experienced with being diagnosed. We support each other through listening and discussion.
