Summary

To put it simply, i have responsibilities. Reasons to wake up each day and do my best. Family is my motivation, along with the desire to give them everything i never had. It keeps me up most nights. Thinking about what i could possible do to give them the chances I never had.


I've been overseas and back as an infantry marine with 2/2. Participated in Operation Enduring Freedom. I've put in 15 yrs laying tile. Even with these accomplishments, I'm still not satisfied with the man I am. I know i can do more, go farther; accomplish more as I am only 33 yrs old.


With any and every opportunity i will do my absolute best, knowing whats on the line. All i require is the right chance to become more. If you are the recipient of this resume, just know, I've chosen to be more than committed to this career choice and will make the absolute best of the opportunity.
