PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY – SEEKING A REMOTE POSITION ONLY

You will not find any references to management experience in my resume and that is deliberate. I have many years of experience leading men during my military career, providing the proper motivation and leadership during my years with NATO, and finally, delivering spot-on consulting advice to prospective U.S. government vendors seeking approval for their business.

At this point in my life, I would love to find a nice solid job with a company such as yours that recognizes the value of a man that knows how to blend in as a valuable team member, thus contributing to the overall success of that team and helping to achieve the goals set out in your Mission statement.

I know what I want. I know what I can do. I know what I can deliver.

Professional Experience

Technical Assistant – Worker Compensation

Gallagher Basset Miami, FL

02/2022 – 02/2023

As the primary interface with the injured workers seeking relief I listened, evaluated, and then relayed the call to the appropriate entity within the organization for resolution. Numerous callers thanked me for my concern and willingness to go the extra mile to help them.

2-15 Life and Health Benefits Consultant

The Alliance Charlotte, NC

04/2019 – 08-2022

Being appointed to many insurers allowed me to help young families secure and protect their financial futures by buying the right product for their needs, which was very satisfying for me. Give them what they need and can afford and not what I want.

NATO Maintenance & Supply Agency (NAMSA)

Senior Technical Consultant Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan

05/2010 – 11/2010

I was recruited, selected, trained, and deployed to Kandahar Airfield in support of the ISAF mission as the NATO Liaison Officer to the US Forces.

My duties included negotiating between locals and the US military, ensuring that the services required by the coalition forces were logistically correct thereby avoiding any critical shortages of materiel in theater.

Traveled via Canadian C-130 to HQ Kabul to attend classified meetings between the nation’s leadership by presenting the NATO philosophy and approach to the Mission in Afghanistan.

My “Friday Night Fights” briefing to the Kandahar leadership was enlightening and inspired as I described the current status of all the projects that, we as, NATO oversaw. I received many favorable comments from ISAF Commander and our own US officer corps.

NATO Maintenance & Supply Agency (NAMSA)

Senior Technical Consultant Capellen, GD Luxembourg

11/2008-06/2010

Having been previously employed by NATO from 0601992-04/2001, my reputation as an extremely knowledgeable avionics/electronics expert prompted the AWACS Programme Manager to offer me a 2-year contract to perform forensic research on more than 300 open technical investigations. Due to my special capabilities and prior knowledge, I was able to complete the task in only 18 months, instead of the projected 24 months for which I received a glowing Letter of Appreciation for my efforts and a follow-on request to assume the interim liaison officer position in Afghanistan.
