I am a veteran, I served three years in the US Army. I learned that communication, teamwork, and integrity are essential to not only having a successful career, but also a fulfilling life. My duties in the military were anything but satellite communication. I worked with both mobile units and strategic units to provide a direct support line. After the military, I began work at the coal mine. I worked there for almost five years, operating several types of equipment. I also worked above ground for a short time at the mine's preparation plant. I am certified underground and above ground. After getting laid off, I then pursued my Class A CDL, which I now have. I have tanker, double, and triple endorsements. I also attained my Ohio, West Virginia, Alabama, and MSHA foreman papers.
