Summary
The U.S. Army trained me to become a disciplined Infantryman who developed leadership skills and tactical awareness, sharpshooting abilities, through over 6 years of service. The Executive Protection (PSD / Special Agent Course – October 2025) training has equipped me with protective instincts and threat assessment abilities, and risk-management skills, which I apply to all my missions. I maintain composure during stressful situations while leading with honesty, and I always put the protection of others first. I dedicate my time outside military service to Uber and Lyft operations, where I guarantee passengers receive respectful treatment and complete safety throughout their entire journey.
