Summary
As a seasoned security professional with a United States Secret clearance, I bring a wealth of experience from various specialized training and roles in the military. My background includes rigorous training as a Response Force Team Member for nuclear weapons, where I honed skills in crisis management and threat assessment, and as a Security Forces Patrolman, focusing on base patrol, emergency response, and vehicle inspections. I've completed the Airman Leadership School, which enhanced my leadership and military law enforcement skills, and Controlled F.O.R.C.E. training, where I mastered hand-to-hand combat and defensive tactics. My expertise extends to Active Shooter and Close Quarters Combat training, preparing me for high-risk scenarios in both day and night operations. The Desert Defender Pre-Deployment Tier 1 Training equipped me with specialized skills for desert warfare, survival, and counter-insurgency operations. This diverse training portfolio, coupled with my secret security clearance, positions me uniquely for roles requiring a high level of trust, tactical proficiency, and leadership in security and defense operations.
