Kamron Mead
Swartz Creek,MI
Summary
After I graduated from high school in Swartz Creek, Michigan, I left to join the Army as an 88M, a truck
driver, when I was 17. Working my way forward and getting my E-5, I was assigned as the Michigan
State Coordinator and State Trainer for the Army Honor Guard. During my 6 year contract, I joined
a positive message metal band and toured the world, seeing different cultures and other points of
view from the other side of the world. This continued for almost 7 years. I've always been a "give it
your all" kind of guy and you can see that with the awards and medals I've earned throughout my
military career. After the band, I did some odd jobs and then found myself as a service technician for
about 5 years. Taking my life to that next step, I enrolled in Southern New Hampshire University where
I continue my education online for my Bachelor’s in Game Art & Development. I would love to take
the knowledge that I've gained and bring this into a job where I could continue to grow alongside the
company I'm working for.
