Shawn Horton
Little Valley
Summary
My son and daughter are a direct reflection of me. Unselfish and willing to do whatever it takes to help others. My daughter is an F16 pilot training in the Air Force. She is also a trained flight medic and a private flight instructor.
My son is a peace officer at the SPCA and is currently deployed as a Marine infantryman. They are 23 and 21 respectively. These are the best examples I can offer as to who I am and what I stand for. I raised, mentored, and instilled accountability in my children where adversity was present daily.
Words on paper can not capture what I have to offer. When I was hiring for a large corporation, I became tired of the rubber stamped resume'. I hope you are intrigued.
If your in need of a humble, genuine, integral person balanced with a diverse skillset and deep desire to help others then I appreciate your consideration.
