Affiliations
United States Army Veteran and proud of it. Just so you know, I served in the US Army prior to joining JB Hunt Transport in Lowell. My last duty station was at the University of Arkansas. I was an Assistant Professor of MIlitary Science there. I taught leadership training and military classes to college students for over 4 years, so teaching classes and public speaking are not problems for me either.
