Summary: Serving the past 30 years in the United States Marine
Corps has provided me with a background of diversified challenges resulting in a multitude of abilities. These years
have deeply etched the "mission accomplishment" concept into my personality, which reflects within my job performance
as well as my demeanor. My career as a Marine has been a life-long transition from entry level to senior management/leadership
positions in a variety of occupational fields with numerous individual jobs and ever increasing responsibility. As a
result, I have learned to adapt readily into any role required to complete any given task. The culmination of my years
of sacrifice and dedicated professional service is my promotion to the office of Sergeant Major.
