Nicholas Savage
Summary
I am a Marine Corps veteran with 10 years of Military Police and private armed security experience ranging from patrolman skills and static gate sentry duties to extensive tactical training on the Special Reaction Team aboard Camp Pendleton for over 3 years. During my enlistment I also received countless hours of training and practical application in leadership, mentoring, and teamwork as a Sergeant of Marines. The Military Police field and Marine Corps as a whole taught me valuable skills both personally and professionally and I'm looking to continue those skills in a new career.
