U.S. Coast Guard Career
During my 20 year career with the U.S. Coast Guard, I've gained valuable experience on all things electronics. From cable installation, equipment maintenance and repair as well as help desk operations. I also served as an electronics shop supervisor where I gained experience leading a team of 15 technicians with the maintenance and repair of afloat and ashore assets within the Florida Keys. I was able to complete all tasking and manage my team in a fast and everchanging environment. During my last four years I have served as an Electronics / Communications instructor at the Norfolk naval base teaching junior electronics technicians Communications Security. I look forward to my next position as I transition out of the military in early September, 2024.
