Summary

I started in the military in 2005. I was able to attain airborne wings, I was also able to achieve success in earning my EIB (expert infantry Badge) my first year in the army which is quite rare. After that I did 3 tours overseas 2 to Iraq, 1 to Afghanistan where I was trusted to lead men into combat with millions of dollars worth of equipment. After the wars I was selected for special operations, I spent 3 years at Ft Bragg going through my qualification course also learning a new language (Indonesian) before being medically retired for herniated disc's in my lower back. Over the full 12 years I attended numerous professional development courses both military and civilian. I was able to attain top honors (Commandants list for the top 15% of the class) while also attending civilian leadership training courses at Central Texas College. After the military I opened a medical supply store in a city outside Tampa Bay FL. I did that till the pandemic hit then I was forced to close up to move back home to be closer to my family. I am extremely driven, there are many goals that I have for my future and I would like to make being employed at your business one of them.
