Bio 

After I graduated from high school I joined the U.S. Marine Corps on April 9, 2002. My Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) was 0351 infantry assaultman. I was in the Marines for ten years. As an infantry assault man I was trained in employing missiles such as the javelin and MK-153 Shoulder Fire Multi-purpose Assault Weapon (MK-153- SMAW), the Anti-Personnel Obstacle Breaching System, demolition Shortly after my career in the military I started doing private contracting for the U.S. government in July 9, 2012. My job ranges from static security to Professional Security Services (PSS) for the U.S. government. I’m currently still doing PSS for the U.S. government. Also I’m attending college in getting my bachelor’s degree in Business Management and my minor in Security Management.
