Bio
I served as a Food Service Sergeant in my Army career, worked with people from all over the United States and all over the world. I cooked under weather conditions of extreme heat, cold, wind and rain ensuring soldiers were fed and kept warm. I'm currently carrying mail for the USPS and also writing a book, which I hope to have published this year.
I'm currently working in the craft of letter carrier for the USPS, managing a 10 mile/day walking route. I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in Business and am working on a Bachelor of Arts in History. I can also cook, bake, plan menus, etc. and have 20+ years in food service.
