After serving in the Marine Corps where I received advanced training in Counterterrorism and Physical security, and was a Marksmanship Instructor, I went on to earn my Bachelors in Telecommunications Management graduating Magna Cum Laude. I have done IT work in the public, private, and non-profit sectors for over 25 years.
In addition to IT I have passed the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) National Certification, was a First Aid and CPR trainer for the American Red Cross, and have extensive training in Emergency Management and Disaster Response.
In my free time I go Camping and Backpacking to detach from technology and get back in touch with nature. I am also very active in Scouting with my son.
