Summary

I served in the US ARMY for 15 year's as a wheeled vehicle Mechanic. I've done two tours, one in Afghanistan 2008-2009 where I was a lead gunner. I was coined by the Sergeant Major of the US ARMY for over 270 successful missions. My second deployment was to Kuwait in 2012-2013 where I was the NCOIC of the work orders department. I worked with the contractor's that repaired buildings and equipment on the forward operations base. During this I devised a way to get the contractor's paid quicker and more efficiently. I ended my career in the US ARMY as a Platoon Sergeant in 2023.
