Summary
I was a medic in the Army until my discharge in 1989; at which time I got certified and worked as a CNA at several facilities. In 2006 I got my CDL A license and have been delivering fuel ever since. In June of 2021 I attended medical assistant school and received my certificate through the NHA where I also got my certificate for CPR. Up until October of 2022 I was hauling fuel, but decided to get out of trucking and look for a job in the medical field.
