PROFILE

Served as a Medic for 8 years on active duty in the US Army from 2001-2009. As a non-commissioned officer I was frequently placed in the areas of increased responsibility and supervisory positions over junior enlisted Soldiers. Served with distinction in combat deployments with the 1st Cavalry Division from 2004-2005 and 2006-2008 earning the Combat Medic Badge (CMB) and Army Accommodation Medal (ARCOM).

Since my honorable discharge in 2008 I have been an Army Spouse and stay at home Dad with two young sons. During this time I have also worked in retail golf sales with Edwin Watts as a top sale associate and gained my Culinary Arts Degree from the Culinard Institute in Savannah, Georgia. I have recently started my own part-time online businesses that continue to grow.

I have a passion for leading and developing people, helping them to achieve their potential through hard work. I have personally navigated the Veteran job market and Administration systems for years and understand how frustrating it can be and what resources are available to veterans.
