Bio
I began my military career as an enlisted Fire Supporter a few weeks after 9/11/2001, then commissioned through the Kentucky ROTC five years later. Served on Active Duty for 6+ years and left service in July 2012. Started my own company in early 2018.
Military Experiences
Apr 2011 - May 2012
Battery Commander
Managed a team of outstanding individuals within a Battery setting at Fort Polk, LA. My two 1SGs were truly the backbone of our company level unit and I couldn't have succeeded without them. The Bravo Bulldogs performed exceptionally well during our deployment to Afghanistan in 2010-2011 and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to lead these men through the fray and back home again.
