Summary
I graduated Dekalb High School in 2008 receiving my high school diploma. In 2010 I joined the United States Marine Corps where I have been an electrician for almost 11 years, including 2 deployments where my skills were utilized. On my 2 deployments I was in charge of power plan design, drawing, implementation testing, and troubleshooting. I currently work at Spectrum Engineering as an electrical design engineer. Here I do substation testing as well as all the substation relay wiring. I have also been working part-time for the Auburn Fire Department since September 2019, and I am currently seeking full time employment for the Auburn Fire Department to finally accomplish my goals of being a full time fire fighter. I am a very quick and motivated learner and I am always willing to learn new things while taking notes along the way.
