Summary
I am a Military Veteran with 23 years of service to my country and a small business owner. Upon retiring from the military I enrolled in the Commerical Building Engineer Program at Renton Technical College upon accepting a position as the Facilities Manager at a private christian school. I maintained that position until a medical condition forced me to a career change. At that time I transferred programs into the Paraprofessional Accounting Program and started my own Bookkeeping Business.
