Bio 

I am a retired Marine after serving 20 years active duty. My primary MOS was 0811 field artillery. I shot the 105mm and 155mm howitzers. I recruited for 3 years in Colorado then back to the artillery. During this time I deployed 6 times from Somalia to Iraq. My last 4 years was spent in the vault issuing crypto at the comm school then ended as the SNCOIC at range maintanance in 29 stumps.

I work at Papé Material Handling as a product support rep. I manage accounts and assist the customers with parts and repairs on their forklifts.
