Bio
Since joining the Army in 2010 I have been in charge of various teams. As an NCO I make sure to help my soldiers to the best of my abilities and be a competent trainer. I love training, guiding, and counseling soldiers. I will always do my best to make sure my soldiers uphold the highest standards and further their military and civilian education.
I have been in the military since March 2004 to include 6 1/2 years in the PA Air National Guard and have been enlisted in the Active Duty Army since 2010. I love computers and computer security. I feel I am different than most IT people as I don't like to specialize in just one field but do my best to study every aspect of technology. I am married with 3 kids and love my family, but also love my military family all the same.
