Summary
As a Navy veteran with an extensive first responder professional profile, I desire to further my knowledge and experience in the sports/athletic world. Strength and conditioning have been my focus for a long time, and while holding full-time work in the world of security and emergency response teams, my goal to contribute to the field of sport and fitness has run parallel. Currently, I am enrolled in the United States Sports Academy, and I am looking for opportunities to put into real-life practice the knowledge I am gaining.
