Brussels
Summary
At 17 years old I enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps to challenge myself and travel. I enlisted open contract and was slated into the I.T. Department as a Small Systems Specialist. After completing my time in the military I moved back home to help my father with his construction and manufacturing companies. Every work experience I've had, has come through hands on training in constantly changing environments. I learn quickly and excel at the tasks presented to me. If I make a mistake I learn from it and move on. I truly enjoy solving new and various types of challenges.
