John Massey
Objective To continue to utilize the skills and experience gained in over 31
years of service to our nation in the Army, the National guard and
as a police officer. Over the course of my career I have become well
versed in organization, time management, motivation and leadership. I
worked with and led people in the most stressful environments
imaginable. These skills have translated well into the private sector and
management. My goal is to continue to utilize them and create the safest
and most efficient environment possible.
