I am a resident of Montgomery, Al since June of 1989. I was raised in an Air Force
military family since birth at Rockledge, Fl on September 8, 1977. I served in the Active
U.S Air Force for 15 years and still hold a “secret” security clearance. My ambition is to
fine tune a civilian career by utilizing my military experience to become a strong asset for
a business/company I would represent. I have in-depth knowledge using computer
automated maintenance systems(Air Force computer documentations)and the drive to
work with my hands due to my aircraft mechanic/inspector background. Given the
opportunity to work for a company, my loyalty is unwavering and committed.
