While relocating from California to North Florida I was given an opportunity to be trained in the field of glass forming machinery refurbishment. I was taught many aspects of the business and wore many hats as it was a small family business with less than 30 employees.

I was offered to get my class a license which I did as well as manage the day to day operations of a glass forming machinery rebuild center to include multi million dollar machine builds to include at any given time the managing of 20-30 employees depending on the orders.

I handled vendors and sales calls as well as the strategic operations of the plant and its employees.

After the owner suffered a career ending medical condition the plant and its operations were shut down and I followed my dream into law enforcement while taking a huge pay cut to fulfill a life’s long desire to be a part of law enforcement.
