leadership and teaching roles. I have documented success while learning in

in a variety of environments, instructing students both foreign and
domestic from a plethora of backgrounds. I trained multi-national troops
for real life and time sensitive situations and tested them to ensure their

handouts used by every U.S. Army scout and U.S. Army and Marine Corps armor
crewman.
