Recent Activity  -

Bio 

A professional service and security minded individual who has experience in the retail market, military service, and government sector; capable of taking the lead with little or no guidance, or acting as a dedicated member of a team. Education and training are my greatest joys. I thoroughly enjoy speaking to students, employees, Soldiers and/or civilian groups about a great variety of subjects. Very active with the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association (CVMA). Also active with the Wounded Warror Project (Alumni), and the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). Even retired, First Sergeants take care of Soldiers (or Veterans).
