Bio
I had a challenging and rewarding military career and had many life learned lessons to add on my resume' of life. The highlights of my career was the re-evaluation of my military career as a Combat Engineer and medically transitioning as a Human Resource Specialist. The medical challenges were enormous, after I was wounded and rediscovering my Faith as born-again Christian. God is Awesome.
