Summary

From 2013-2021 I served in the United States Marine Corps. During this time I worked as a Wrecker operator. While holding this position I performed preventative maintenance on vehicles, transported goods, and operated a variety of heavy machinery. After my time in the military I worked as a carpenter. Through this I honed my abilities to be creative, think outside the box, and build positive working relationships with others. Upon moving to Colorado I went back to what I knew best and was hired on as a tow truck driver where I was presented with many difficult situations and learned further how to make problem solving decisions under pressure. Over the past two years I have worked as a Taxidermist. With this I have had the opportunity to problem solve difficult tasks on a daily basis. When I am not working I spend my free time doing anything outdoors related, constantly building my skills as a fisherman, hunter, and nature enthusiast.
