As a Supervising Sergeant with the US Army Signal Corps, I have over seven years of experience in Information Technology, Satellite communications, Line-of-Sight communications, Radio operations, and maintenance & repair. I have managed multiple teams and personnel through their day-to-day operations and maintenance, including: planning, training, mission pre-operations, after-action re-training, customer service and professional development. After my honorable discharge, I returned to Rayfield Tree Care as a ground supervisor. I took the lead to ensure all operations on site would go beyond the normal operational success and safety standards that are required, while using my past experiences to mitigate cost and resources, while creating blanket training standards for new employees.
