Bio
I spent eight and a half years as an Airborne Infantryman with the 82nd and the 173rd. Since then I have worked in the construction industry, and have earned a college degree. My goal going forward is to obtain a position where I can fully utilize my diverse experience and personal relation skills to positively impact my company, and make a significant contribution to any potential employers.
Graduated from Oak Ridge High School. Worked in retail for Rite Aid Pharmacy and the Nike Outlet Store, and the food service industry at the Serrano Golf Course and Country Club until joining the United Sates Army in September of 1998.
