Jesse Kepley
Tulsa,OK
Summary
Im Jesse Kepley, I've been in the active duty Army since late 2019. 4 years in total. Working with radios, computers, satellites, vehicles & many other types of special equipment. Prior to the military I worked as a forklift driver, soccer referee, food industry manager, lawn mowing/landscaping business etc.. As I went to school for my GED in 2019, I studied for the ASVAB test. Tested college ready on the GED and got a 119 GT score on the ASVAB. This is considered well above average. Doing this after not being in school for a decade. Dedicated to learning and becoming a subject matter expert at anything I plan to do or accomplish. Anything post military will be low stress for me and something im familiar with, as I have past experience.
