OBJECTIVE:
Honest, hardworking Veteran, seeking a long term career with a company which
appreciates a Veteran’s capability and adaptability. I have developed a mindset that
failure is not an option. If I am asked to accomplish a mission or a task, I must find a
way to get it done. There is no good excuse for failure. There is only an expectation that
the mission will be accomplished. As a military veteran I have a different approach to
difficult circumstances and understand the word Duty to mean “We act based on our
moral obligations.”
